They met at three, buried a time capsule at seven, and one summer when they were eleven, Gao Minghao asked his best friend Ying Mengwan to go to the amusement park. She was in a car accident right in front of him and never woke up again.
Everyone said it wasn't his fault, but from then on he carried an invisible cross. Over six years, he went from a cheerful boy to a silent ghost. His family went from caring about him to growing tired of him, and his classmates went from ignoring him to bullying him. He was an empty shell walking around, with only one wish: to close his eyes and never wake up.
One night when he was seventeen, a crack appeared in his dreams. A seventeen-year-old girl emerged from the mist. She had Ying Mengwan's appearance, memories, and name, but was quieter and gentler than the eleven-year-old girl had been. In his dreams, she built him a garden where it was never dark and a castle engraved with memories: a “paradise” that belonged only to him.
He began to depend on his dreams, gradually losing the ability to tell waking from sleeping. When he said, “I want to stay here forever,” she refused him for the first time. The paradise collapsed, leaving behind only a note: “Find a meaning of your own.”
This is a journey of redemption that crosses the boundaries between life, death, and dreams. When reality holds nothing but ashes, she becomes the last light in his dreams. But that light tells him: You have to go back and live well.
Sigh, but I really feel it's sacred.
