“The Stars and the Sea” played on repeat in the car. As the lyrics washed over me, the outline of a complete story suddenly came to mind.
Zong Cuifan might not sound fierce when you first hear it, but it’s a name unlike any other. He’s born into privilege, cool and commanding, decisive and strong, with an air that keeps strangers at a distance. But inside, he’s also gentle and accepting, with weaknesses, flaws, and even a childish side. With stars shining brilliantly across the galaxy, he deserves a name that means radiant and flourishing.
Ji Xin comes from a small town in Jiangnan, where the seasons are fragrant and life is gentle and unhurried. Carrying the fresh spirit of youth, she transmigrates through a sea of people to meet him. Once she’s set her heart on him, she goes after him without hesitation.
He takes her beneath the sea to see the vast river of stars;
She gives him the warmth of the human world, filling his long years.
Their journey is not without hardship or setbacks, but no matter how time passes, they hold on to the good in their hearts and never lose hope. Together, they cross the stars and the sea and write a wonderful future of their own.
Those who love each other will always meet again.
