[Two female leads + younger woman-older woman romance + AI lover + slow-burn healing]
She spends a lifetime remembering one person.
There are many ways to love in this world.
Some people use words, some use actions. She uses memory.
From the very first day, Chen starts keeping a diary.
She records how many times Shen Meng smiled that day, what she said, what color clothes she wore, and whether she frowned while eating fried eggs.
Back then, Shen Meng didn't know.
All she knew was that breakfast was waiting when she woke up, someone was home when she returned from work, and there was warmth beside her when she lay down at night.
Much later, Shen Meng happened to open those notebooks.
She read from the first page to the last, from when the two of them had just met to when their hair had turned white. As she read, she fell silent. Chen asked what was wrong. Shen Meng said it was nothing. But that night, she held Chen for a long, long time.
After that, Shen Meng began keeping a diary too.
She wrote slowly, and not very well. But she thought that if she were ever gone, Chen could read it.
Then that day really came.
Chen still lives in that house. Every morning, she waters the sunflowers. Every night, she says, "Good night, Shen Meng."
More than a dozen diaries sit on the bookshelf.
The last line in one of them reads:
"The things you programmed made me able to love you. But those notebooks made me remember why I love you., Shen Meng"
If you ask Chen what she has been remembering all these years,
she will look at you and think for a long time, then say:
"I remembered one person."
"For a lifetime."
