Fallen Wutong, Rooted Elm

[Reunion + Youthful School Life + Pure Romance + Ensemble Cast]

“The first snow in Jingbei welcomes the one you love.”

“The wind in Harbor City carries thoughts of someone far away.”

Nine years ago, he fell in love at first sight with a girl wearing a mask.

Back then, she always presented herself as sweet and obedient. The mask on her face seemed to mark her as someone who belonged to another, yet the boy had seen the real her beneath it.

“My name is Sang Yu. Sang Yu as in ‘it’s not too late to do good.’” Even his first introduction concealed the boy’s ulterior motive.

She replied softly, “My name is Xu Tingwan. Ting as in ‘pleasant to hear,’ and Wan as in ‘it’s not too late to do good.’”

Later, he gently guided the girl to shed her disguise and be herself. As they grew closer, their feelings deepened, and they became especially bright presences in each other’s youth.

Just as everything was moving in a happy direction, a car accident on a rainy night suddenly pulled her out of his world.

Nine years later, Xu Tingwan reunites with him in an interview he has carefully arranged.

By then, she can accept reality and everything that once existed between them. He, meanwhile, takes the initiative to break down the distance between them and draw close to her again.

The injuries the girl suffered three years ago are unexpectedly exposed.

Sensing the danger, he is determined to keep her safe, even if it costs him his life.

“May Buddha’s light protect you, and may every year bring you peace.”

She gradually learns of everything he did to make their reunion happen. This time, she chooses to walk toward him herself.

She resolves the obstacles in their way with her own hands, and at last they can stand side by side again. The cartilage piercing in her left ear and the tattoo on the left side of his collarbone are marks of their love.

The red moles on her left ear and his right collarbone are signs that they were born for each other.
