With only a year left to live, she chooses to return to her ex-boyfriend.
The day Yan Yueshan receives her pancreatic cancer diagnosis, the first person she thinks of is him: the man who taught her to smoke and made her fall in love with absinthe, but broke up with her because he didn’t know how to express his love. She stands at the entrance to Wu Molin’s villa with her suitcase, claiming she’s looking for inspiration for her writing. All she really wants is to see him one more time before she dies.
He is the youngest computer science professor at his university: stern, striking, rational, and restrained. Every day, he turns the signet ring his mother left him and fills the emptiness of living alone with video games. On her first night under his roof, he loses focus for the first time while gaming in his study. When she smokes on the balcony, he silently comes to stand beside her.
As their everyday life grows warmer and his frozen heart begins to thaw, she can no longer hide her illness. Just then, a white-haired doctor with a gloomy air appears. Bai Yanzhuo brings hope of a cure, along with a difficult choice. She decides to go abroad for treatment alone for three years, leaving behind a letter: “Wait for me. If you still love me, don’t come looking for me.”
From falling in love at university and breaking up, to reuniting and living together, then facing life and death; from his desperate pursuit to their reconciliation, he spends three years learning to wait, while she spends three years learning to survive. When the smoke clears and sunlight fills their lives, he finally learns to say “I love you,” and she proves that love really can work miracles with the rest of her life.
A story about facing death and reclaiming what was lost. Misty mornings, smoky balconies, nights of absinthe, and someone willing to wait for you all their life.
That's awesome, I just don't know why I have the same feelings🤔
