At 24, Zhao Lingyu goes on blind dates and teaches, living a mediocre life whose end she can already see.
Then her ex-girlfriend, Gao Xuan, makes a dramatic return, carrying regret and possessiveness as she tries to pull her back into the dream called love.
Zhao Lingyu thought this was fate giving them a second chance.
That is, until she sat at a suffocating blind-date table and heard that Gao Xuan was about to marry into a wealthy family.
“Perhaps in the cold bubble, I saw her, drifting in and out of sight, faint and elusive. When I reached out, she seemed to be nothing but an illusion.
Somehow, I knew she had made up her mind. Our souls had once become one, but in the end, they would be stained by different shades of filth, changing, without either of us realizing it, into people we no longer recognized.”
You have nowhere left to retreat, while I avoid risks and look out for myself.
There aren't that many second chances in this world. More often, people part ways after weighing the costs and benefits.
