In the Third Year of Falling in Love with You, I Feel Disheartened

Wei Qinglan and Pei Yan are two young captains with top skills in Star Airlines International. A love affair between two people, which started as a secret and ended up being unbalanced, collapsed in the tug-of-war between giving and taking, openness and concealment, showing regret and growth. A secret love affair was established at Pei Yan's request. Wei Qinglan started a three-year one-way dedication: carefully preparing stomach-nurturing meals, taking care of daily life, and deliberately alienating herself at work, while Pei Yan gradually took this for granted. Conflicts broke out amid multiple asymmetries: Pei Yan changed classes to accompany his ex-boyfriend Xu Yuheng in training, but repeatedly missed important moments for Wei Qinglan; he asked Wei Qinglan to give up key promotion opportunities to Xu Yuheng; he enjoyed his single status in public and interacted intimately with female colleagues. Wei Qinglan's forbearance continued to accumulate. Wei's father was hospitalized for a heart attack, and Pei Yan was absent again to take care of the sick Xu Yuheng. Wei Qinglan was completely heartbroken on the birthday night she was waiting for alone. She took off the meaningful ring, moved out of the apartment, and unilaterally ended the relationship. Pei Yan was shocked when he saw the ring and realized that he had lost it. He tried to use the most flamboyant way, giving roses in public and publicly confessing to save the ring, but he only got Wei Qinglan's cold "It has nothing to do with me" and a decisive departure. The publicity became an ironic trial for all his past neglect. Wei Qinglan chose to go overseas for training and pursue a new career. Pei Yan, in the midst of complete loss, began to painfully reflect and grow. The story ultimately points to the reality that "a broken mirror is difficult to mend" and the possibility of "self-reconstruction". The emotional trial ends and the personal journey begins.
