[Dual male leads, reunited after years apart, a groveling ex tries to win him back]
An accidental radio broadcast mishap three years ago turned Lin Muyang's peaceful life upside down.
The culprit, Shen Changye, disappeared without a trace.
When they meet again, Lin Muyang decisively keeps his distance, but Shen Changye refuses to leave him alone.
He boldly shows up in front of Lin Muyang, who ignores him. He begs humbly, but Lin Muyang turns a deaf ear.
“Lin Muyang, I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?”
“I'd do anything for you. I mean it.”
“Give me another chance. I swear I won't let you down again. Let's start over. What do you say?”
By chance, their relationship begins to thaw, but a crisis of trust shatters their already-fractured bond for good.
They meet again.
He says, “Shen Changye, stop shedding crocodile tears. They make me sick.”
And he says, “Lin Muyang, there's no going back for us, is there?”
P.S. The story opens in college.

I spent several hours watching it, and I don't know why I feel so sad. Even though it has a happy ending, it feels even harder to accept than a tragic one. The most touching aspect of the book lies in its "imperfections". Shen Changye's repentance was tinged with selfishness; he wanted to make amends not only to Lin Muyang, but also to the version of himself who had made a grave mistake.
