"The Seventh Year, Before the Cicada Cries" is a story about extreme affection and cruel separation. Seven years ago, when the cicadas were at their peak, Gu Weishen used a well-planned betrayal to severely push his beloved Lin Wangshu away. Seven years later, Lin Wangshu passed by a withered figure in a silent nursing home. The truth about the ruthless love back then was slowly revealed as the attending doctor Xu Yan hesitated to speak and the amber cicada saw the light of day again - he exchanged eternal hatred for her life-long peace. This summer before the cicadas sing is the most silent and deafening farewell to love and dignity.
