Between us, an unspoken shore will always lie.
At seventeen, on the library stairs, Su Wan was going up while Lu Yanzhou was coming down.

[Moments No One Ever Knew About]
· On graduation day, clutching his acceptance letter to a university in her city, he searched for her in the crowd for three whole hours.
· And after her best friend said, "Lu Yanzhou is going to Beijing," she cried in an empty classroom until her school uniform sleeve was soaked.

Everyone knew they had known each other for years.
But no one knew that they had once hidden on a balcony late at night, sharing the same starry sky and pounding heartbeats.
This is a story of unrequited love taken to the extreme and one misunderstanding after another.

Everyone watching laments what a shame it is, but only they know:
Some shores can never be reached, not even in a lifetime.
