It began with a promising start and a sincere affection. Knowing they could never be together, they willingly held fast to the magic of friendship. Their profound devotion to each other became the driving force behind their individual struggles.

How can I tell you what it truly means never to leave or abandon someone? This book may not make you weep, but sentimental readers will surely find themselves hiding their faces as they read. You'll be moved by the characters' sorrows and touched by the genuine feelings they reveal. Holding hands is not necessarily love's ultimate destination. In today's highly connected world, where the internet spans the globe, the pain of meeting too late and the respect shown by keeping a promise can also inspire a moving new-age tale of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
