"The Peach Blossoms Burn Their Flowers" (Sorrowful Version)
In late spring, peach blossoms bloomed, and in the sea of scorching flowers in Qinghe Town, Ruan Yu and Lu Jingci met for the first time. She is a girl whose eyes are full of stars, and she crushes his heart that has been silent for many years with her innocence; he is a young man who has the shackles of his family, and he protects her for a while with the illusion of gentleness. The oath under the peach blossom tree is still in my ears, but I don't know that fate has already laid many traps.
A sudden change turned them from being only each other to strangers. The sharp blade of family grudges and the thorns of worldly rumors tore the two apart. In order to save him, she was willing to give up everything, but in exchange for his misunderstanding and alienation; in order to protect her, he worked every step of the way, but he could only watch her fall into the abyss.
The peach blossoms bloom and wither, and year after year, they struggle with longing and resentment, and sink in reunion and separation. When the truth finally emerges, time has long exhausted all tenderness. Can those missed years and broken hearts find a glimmer of redemption in the rain of withered peach blossoms?
This is a sadomasochistic love story that cannot be loved and is heart-wrenching. It begins in the burning place of peach blossoms and ends in the wind and rain, leaving only residual red on the ground. It tells the endless regrets of "the peach is young, the elm burns its flower, but the love is deep and the relationship is shallow."
