I thought I was loving her, but actually I was killing her.
It took Gu Huaichen ten years, but he couldn't get over Bai Yueguang and Su Nian's death. Until she met Lin Xiaoyan - a person who looked very much like her between her features. He devoted all his obsession to her, giving her the best and the most suffocating. He thought it was affection, but he didn't know that she woke up suffocated every day.
It took Lin Xiaoyan three years to understand: she was never anyone's substitute. So she "died" - died on that seaside, somewhere unknown to the person she loved most.
When we met again three years later, she was already the curator Lin Yanhuo. He said with red eyes: "I have been looking for you for three years." She smiled: "Are you looking for me or Su Nian's shadow?"
They were both wrong - he never really saw her clearly, and she never really let him go.
Until that exhibition, the last painting was called "Rebirth". There is no him in the painting, only herself. Standing in front of the painting, he finally learned: love is not about possession, but about how you are the best when you stand there.
She died on the day of reunion and was reborn on the day of reunion.
