[Time Travel + Transcendent Soul-Time Setting]
By the Huai River, beneath the bright moon, who will express my heart?
To help Lin Yue cram for Chinese class, her father specially hired her a tutor.
Zhou Yinghuai was refined and gentle. Once, as he was telling the story of Weisheng waiting by the bridge pillar until the flood took him, she asked, "Why didn't Weisheng suspect that the woman had deceived him?"
"For her, the lie was built on good intentions."
After that, no matter how much Lin Yue puzzled over it, he refused to answer.
Lin Yue began having the same dream. A darkened sky, raging floodwaters, and waves on the horizon carrying the mournful cries of those being swallowed up. The air beneath the water was thick with decay and fear. A man stood with his back to her beside a wooden pillar.
At the same time, Chen Du, the school's most popular boy, began pursuing Lin Yue openly. Every day, he left a bunch of baby's breath and a note on her desk: "Dried flowers have no season, just as hatred lasts longer than love. You are the protagonist of my life."
As the blank spaces in the past slowly came into view, what was recovered was not only promises and trust, but also cruelty and reality.
"If good intentions and lies are equally guilty, then I would gladly offer my soul to protect the people I care about."
