Synopsis

Everyday life + 1v1 romance + one heroine + mutual devotion + emotional ups and downs.

This isn't a consistently sweet romance. Its portrayal of love is more grounded in reality, with plenty of twists and turns.

Her parents are divorced, and Chen Ye has only his father. Though they come from poor backgrounds, the two find an extraordinary love together.

“She dreamed that Chen Ye accepted her scarf. She dreamed he wrapped it around his neck, the gray wool setting off his rugged features. He looked handsome.

She dreamed he smiled at her, not with his usual faint, restrained smile, but with a real, happy one.

The dream was warm, like a cup of hot milk on a winter's day.

In the next room, Chen Ye was dreaming too. He dreamed he'd finished building a house in his hometown. It was big and beautiful, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony covered in pothos plants.

He stood on the balcony, looking at the distant mountains, feeling content.

But when he turned around, the house was empty. He was all alone.

He shouted Wen Ruan's name, but no one answered.

He ran downstairs, out of the house, across the fields and through the village. He ran until he was gasping for breath, but still couldn't find her.

At last, exhausted, he collapsed by the road and looked up at the sky. It was gray, the color of the scarf Wen Ruan had knitted.

He reached out, wanting to grasp something, but his hand was empty.

Only the wind, a bone-chilling wind, slipped through his fingers.
