After living for 699 years, Chen Wan had long celebrated the "New Year" as a routine, until a serious history professor moved downstairs.
He would chase her with ancient books and ask, "How do you recognize the dialect of the Ming Dynasty?" He would remember that when she drank milk tea, she had to "remove 30% of the sugar from the ice." When she exposed a thousand-year-old secret, he would not be afraid but feel distressed: "You have been carrying it alone for so long, are you tired?"
Every year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the white-clothed immortal Zhou Zhou would deliver medicine as scheduled to maintain her ageless appearance and remind her of her 700th-century choice - either lose her memory and live forever, or become a mortal again.
Shen Moyan's appearance was like a beam of warm light that broke into her thousand years of loneliness. He rummaged through ancient local chronicles just to prove that her existence was not a legend; he stayed up late studying the ingredients of the elixir, just to give her a third option: "Your story deserves to be remembered, and I will accompany you."
Thousands of years of loneliness met with gentle protection, when the secret of eternal life was exposed, and the investigation from the heavenly world was getting closer, she finally understood: after living for seven hundred years, it turned out that she had not lived for immortality, but to wait for someone to say "I believe in you, and I will accompany you."
