This is a story about love, hatred, forgetting, and reunion.
Some vows, even when buried by the years, never truly disappear.
Some people, even after losing touch for ten years, will meet again under the guidance of fate.
Ten years ago, they were the closest of lovers. Ten years later, when they met again, they were strangers.
Su Wan once thought Lu Tingzhou's departure was fate playing a cruel trick on her. The year her father went bankrupt, her mother remarried, and she was forced to be reborn through plastic surgery, he vanished without warning, without even saying goodbye. She had hated and resented him, and even spent countless nights crying and asking him why. But Lu Tingzhou remembered everything: the fine lines at the corners of her eyes when she smiled, her unconscious habit of biting her lip when she was nervous, and the maple leaf she loved most. He had never forgotten her. He had only been forced to leave, carrying pain and guilt he could never put into words.
When they met again, he was lying bloodied on an operating table on a rainy night, and she was the surgeon he trusted most.
On the ring finger of his right hand, he still wore the silver ring she had given him all those years ago.
In her pocket, she kept a broken engagement necklace, the promise he had once been meant to place around her neck.
But when they finally drew close again, the truth proved more cruel than any lie.
As fragments of memory were pieced together bit by bit, and the hidden truth finally came to light, could they overcome the pain of ten years and hold hands once more?
Or are some loves destined to be like butterflies trapped in amber, beautiful, yet forever unable to escape the bonds of time?
