On Xiao Yan's twenty-fifth birthday, his lover Yi Han died on the way to celebrate his birthday.
In the heavy rain, he knelt down holding Yi Han's broken body and prayed, willing to give everything in exchange for his return. But God did not respond.
From then on, Xiao Yan's world collapsed.
In despair, he received the "promise from the gods" in the Wangchuan Temple in a deep mountain - Yi Han would return to him in a spiritual body. For one year, we cannot touch, but we can see each other. At the end of one year, you can regain your physical body.
Yi Han is really back.
Through the glass window of the ward, Xiao Yan saw his lover standing there, his eyes full of distress and love. After more than three hundred days and nights, they fell in love, quarreled, and slept together as before. Xiao Yan felt that this was a gift he had paid all the price for.
However, as the one-year appointment approached, Xiao Yan's health became worse and worse, his memory began to become confused, and Yi Han's figure became flickering. He panicked and asked Yi Han if he no longer loved him, but on the day when the one-year period expired, he watched his lover disappear completely.
The truth is far more cruel than "gods withdrawing their gifts" - Yi Han has never been resurrected.
The deep mountains, the temple, and the one-year spiritual companionship were just a fantasy that Xiao Yan weaved for himself after he was in extreme pain.
When the year expired and the illusion dissipated, Xiao Yan had to face a cruel choice: accept the reality without Yi Han, or live forever in the illusion with him?
An ultimate tug of love and obsession. Does your soul really love me? Or am I crazy to believe this.
