[Reborn + Redemption + Mutual Secret Crushes + Angsty Romance + Bad Ending]
Xu Anxia: A midsummer destined to end, and a peace promised but never held on to.
Jiang Xun: A summer spent drowning in longing, searching against the current.
At sixteen, Xu Anxia met Jiang Xun in the height of summer. Born with a heart condition, she knew her life would be short. She didn’t dare dream of a future, much less get close to the rebellious yet gentle boy who dreamed of becoming a narcotics officer. Jiang Xun’s father had died in the line of duty, and his mother had passed away from illness. Living in the shadows, he saw Xu Anxia as his only light, but feared he couldn’t promise her safety when his own life was uncertain.
They loved each other deeply, yet fear and fate made them miss their chance again and again. In their previous life, Jiang Xun died horribly in an underground fight club, and Xu Anxia’s heart broke until she died, too. Reborn at eighteen, she is still gravely ill, but this time she resolves not to hold back.
After the college entrance exams, she confesses first: “Jiang Xun, let’s be together!” This time, she doesn’t ask for a lifetime, only the present. With the little life she has left, she will love him openly and try to save him from his lonely existence.
In this life, I don’t want forever, stability, or all the years to come.
I only want you.
But in the end, fate does not spare them. Xu Anxia dies of her illness, and Jiang Xun eventually becomes a narcotics officer. He dies in the line of duty during a mission, going to find his summer. She gives everything she has, but still cannot keep her boy by her side.
