Wen Wan had been Luo Jinnan's canary for three years, living a cautious and humble life.
She wore his Bai Yueguang's favorite white dress, learned to imitate that person's facial features, endured his indifference and humiliation, and always lived in the shadow called "Nian Nian", thinking that she was just a dispensable substitute from beginning to end.
It wasn't until she opened the dusty portrait that she realized the shocking truth - Bai Yueguang, whom he had hidden deep in his heart and read about for ten years, had always been himself forgotten and imprisoned by him.
Three years of affectionate mispayment, three years of torture in a cage, in the end turned out to be an extremely absurd self-substitution. The severe pain of her brother's death made her completely heartbroken, and she fled by feigning death, cutting off all the past.
Five years later, she became a comfortable potter in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, forgetting her past and living her own life.
But the man who was once so aloof became crazy after losing her, searching thousands of miles and humbly pursuing her to a small town. He put aside all his pride and spent the rest of his life making amends, just asking for the possibility of her turning back.
Memories revived, love and hate intertwined. She let go of her hatred, but it was difficult to forgive the past. He spent his whole life just waiting for her to be willing to look at him again.
In this sadomasochistic relationship from imprisonment to redemption, he spent the rest of his life repaying her for the three years of devastation.
