Synopsis

Based on a true story.

Heartbreak romance + regret arc + flashbacks.

The biggest mistake Qiang Yuxin ever made was not failing to love him. It was being loved so well that she forgot how she had won his heart in the first place.

She met him first, fell for him first, and was first to receive all of his awkward, fiery tenderness. He crossed the city searching for her when she disappeared, held a bowl of spicy hot pot against his chest to keep it warm for her on a freezing night, and used every penny he had saved to buy her a secondhand bag before blushing and saying, “I'll buy you a new one someday.” He spoiled her until she took it for granted, until she forgot to love him back, until she stood up for another man in front of him and pointed at him, asking, “Who are you?”

His name was Cai Minhao, a man who couldn't say sweet things and could only prove everything through his actions. He gave her all his affection, but her repeated tests, sulks, and pride drained the last of his strength. The day he turned and walked away, she didn't even know what she'd done wrong.

What came later was like a long, drawn-out execution. She watched him go to someone else, watched him get married, and watched him die on a Los Angeles street while saving her. She spent the rest of her life remembering him and trying to atone with her tears, but she could never win back another “I love you” from him.

Some people don't know how to cherish love until they've lost it. Only then do they realize it was the one and only moonlight of their lives.
