[The tear-prone artist × the devoted lover who stays true] [The sweet-and-sour instant-noodle princess × the willing caretaker] From school days to the wedding aisle
Some promises are bound to be broken, and some hearts never ask when they will meet again.
There are two important times Jiang Jingyu was let down: first, when her childhood friend Su Nan left without saying goodbye; then, when she herself erased everything about Zhou Wenye.
When she reunites with Su Nan three years later, all that remains is polite distance. And when her tears start falling uncontrollably, the tissue Zhou Wenye offers becomes the first unexpected warmth of her high school years.
Others see him as a “bad student” who smokes and fights, but he knows how to rein in his sharp edges for her.
“If I make a promise from now on, I'll keep it.”
At eighteen, Zhou Wenye and Jiang Jingyu hold hands beneath a plane tree, believing they can stay together forever.
He is the heir to a construction conglomerate, but all he loves is racing. She is a wealthy heiress, but all she wants is to paint.
They elude their families' expectations and hide their youthful feelings, falling in love in the purest days of their lives.
Until the car accident.
His father collapses, and he is forced to shoulder everything. A well-intentioned lie becomes a rift, and “wait for me” turns into “let's break up.”
Six years later, when they meet again, he is still wearing the red cord she gave him around his wrist.
From Plane Tree Road to the capital, from teenagers to adults.
After nine years of waiting and a thousand days and nights spent longing for her, he finally stands before her, down on one knee and holding a bouquet of sunflowers:
“Jiang Jingyu, will you marry me?”
Like a whale to the sea, like a star to the vast heavens.
This time, neither of them is allowed to let go.
