Lin Yu loved Su Wan for 3,000 days.
From the fateful first glance on a midsummer day in their freshman year of high school to silently watching over her while they attended college in the same city, everyone knew about his secret love, except that he alone never dared to confess it.
She knew perfectly well, yet always kept her distance. Later, she found herself in someone else’s arms.
He never blamed or disturbed her. He simply wrote all his feelings into letter after letter he never sent, then locked them away in an old box.
A call for help came just before graduation. He rushed to her side, and to keep her safe, remained forever in the summer of his twenty-second year.
When the 3,000 love letters were made public, every word laid bare seven years of tenderness, humility, obsession, and devotion, each one written in blood and tears.
Only then did Su Wan finally understand:
That boy, so silent to the extreme, had spent his whole life loving her.
And all she had left was a lifetime of regret.
A secret love ending in tragedy, two lives parted by death: a love no one knew of, yet one he gave his entire life to, leaving behind an ache that could never be resolved.
