At the best age of her youth, Ke Zhiqiu met the breathtakingly brilliant Jiang Yeyu.
Every encounter comes with a price, marked by fate long before it happens.
The moment she fell in love with him, she had already lost her whole life.
Their meeting was wrong from the very beginning.
The blood feud between their families stood between them. He could only give Xu Jieyi a marriage contract with his own hands, pretending to be heartless to force Ke Zhiqiu to leave.
They were both cowards, hiding their feelings in their hearts. One moment of hesitation cost them a lifetime together.
“Zhiqiu, Zhiqiu, I can never come near you again. If I could start over, I’d never have kept that love letter under the bed for so long.”
If you want to know what unrequited love is,
it’s an unripe green fruit, a letter hidden under the bed,
it’s loving you, but only being able to say, “See you in the next life.”
And regret is this: every beat of your heart becomes a sin in the years that follow.
Ke Zhiqiu left her homeland with nothing but broken memories. She thought her youth had long since ended, and the boy’s face had begun to fade from her memory. Yet on countless rainy nights, she thought of him:
“Mm. In the next life, let’s not meet.”
They were both devoted, each having loved only one person in this life. Yet an unbridgeable abyss kept them apart, and they missed each other forever.
He spent his whole life playing the villain to make her let go. She spent hers clinging to a misunderstanding, alone.
The hotter the rush of young love, the colder the regret that comes after.
One day, the autumn rain will stop. But in the girl’s world, the boy who once came toward her against the light will never appear again.
“I can give you a marriage contract, but I can’t give you a lifetime.”
“I’m sorry. If there’s a next life, let me be the one to walk toward you first.”
At last, the long-falling autumn rain came to an end.
