Ten years ago, Lu Chenzhou pushed away Lin Yuji, who loved him most, with the words, "Let's end this."
She didn't know that the despair behind his ruthless departure came from taking on his family's debts all by himself. He didn't know that his unexplained goodbye had taken her ten years to make peace with.
Ten years later, a torrential downpour brought them together again.
He was an architect in charge of renovating old buildings. She was an independent curator who ran an old bookstore. When they reunited, there was no embrace after years apart, only a restrained, "Go turn off the power."
Two people who had once loved each other were now drawing close again across the scars of ten years.
He wanted to make up for the regret of the past, only to discover that an "I'm sorry" couldn't mend the cracks left by time. She wanted to trust him, but feared becoming the one who was left behind again.
As it turned out, the deepest hurt was never a lack of love. It was two people who loved each other deeply choosing the wrong way to protect one another.
This time, can they make it through the long rainy season and learn to love and be loved again?
Because true redemption isn't about returning to the past. It's about still being willing to take each other's hand, even after being covered in scars.
It's realistic, ordinary, yet also unrealistic. Ten years is enough time for a person's memory to become blurred. If someone can still recognize another person at first glance and remember every little detail after ten years, does that kind of love truly exist? Personally, I don't want them to get back together.
Very artistic, understated yet possessing a certain charm; reading this book brought vivid images to my mind. 👍👍
