Zhou Suhui (aloof, pure-hearted academic prodigy) & Xu Xunzhou (gentle, self-effacing assistant)
Many years ago, Zhou Suhui once asked the slender young man, “Why are you called Xunzhou?”
He smiled and replied, “Mom says life is a sea of suffering, so you have to seek out a boat to carry you across.”
Back then, Zhou Suhui never imagined that he himself was the little boat the other man was desperately trying to reach across that sea of suffering.
And Zhou Suhui traced the current back to its source for fifteen years, shattering the passage of time just to travel upstream and return to that person's side… only to end up gazing at him from across a sea of people.
One seeks a boat, the other traces the current back. Their names had already spelled out their fate: one searching for the far shore in this vast world, the other traveling upstream through the river of time… They were destined to meet, destined to part, and destined to fulfill, with their lives, a conservation of energy spanning life and death.
The deepest love is never about staying together forever. It is about forging a pact with the soul and completing the most tragic payment in a closed loop of destiny.
