She is Lin Zhiyao. In high school, she would sit by the window in the literature club and read, gently comforting Shen Yao, who was lost in darkness: “You have to believe that no tomorrow is beyond reach.” As an adult, she is battered by a glioma diagnosis, workplace bullying, and estrangement from friends and family, yet she silently swallows her pain and stubbornly withers alone.

One sentence from her saved his life. He spends his whole life giving her a tomorrow.
