Seven years flowed by like water, but the past did not fade like smoke.
Lin Xi finally became an acclaimed architectural designer, successful in her career and with her heart sealed away. Then, one autumn day, Lu Chen reappeared without warning. Her first love, who had left without a word seven years ago, was now an internationally renowned architectural prodigy.
As if playing a joke, fate bound them together once more: they would work side by side to design a cultural center blending the ancient and the modern, on the very riverbank where they had once promised each other a future.
Had he returned for the project, or for the love they once shared? What unspoken pain lay behind his sudden departure all those years ago?
At work, he was still the perfect partner, in sync with her and remembering all her habits and preferences. In their personal lives, he remained an elusive puzzle, always hurrying away just as their feelings began to resurface.
“Architecture is time made tangible. It remembers every story,” Lu Chen said. “And I have never stopped remembering you.”
As modern design meets ancient ruins, and seven years of longing intertwine with unresolved misunderstandings, can they repair their broken past as they would restore a building? Before time reveals its answer, how will they choose between old dreams and new scars?
A heartwarming story of love and waiting, dreams and promises, quietly begins as the ginkgo leaves turn golden once more in Jiangcheng…
