Su Wang spent half her life by Shen Yan's side. Childhood friends who grew up together, she buried all the love in her heart, never daring to break the silence between them.
As the years passed, Shen Yan lived a carefree, romantic life, changing girlfriends again and again. He always saw her as his closest childhood friend, never noticing the feelings hidden in her eyes or realizing that she was terminally ill and had little time left.
She held back and gave way, quietly accompanying him through youth and into the wider world, bearing her illness and secret love alone as the years slipped away. By the time Shen Yan had weathered countless trials and finally realized his feelings, falling in love with her at last, Su Wang was already beyond saving.
In the end, she died the very year he fell in love with her. For the rest of his life, Shen Yan turned his back on romance and lived alone. He never married, growing old in solitude amid a room full of memories and endless regret, spending the rest of his days remembering the woman who had loved him all her life but never lived to be with him.
