Lin Wantang and Zhou Jiming had been in love for six years, with their wedding just around the corner. After her father died, she found an unmailed whistleblower letter among his belongings, exposing the truth behind a factory explosion fifteen years earlier.
And behind the accident stood Mingchuan Group, which Zhou Jiming was about to inherit.
One of them wanted to uncover the truth for her father; the other had to expose his family's crimes with his own hands. They promised never to hide anything from each other, but after witnesses were placed under control and their families threatened, they were forced apart.
To protect Lin Wantang, Zhou Jiming called off the wedding and gave up his inheritance, only to be framed as the scapegoat for the old case and sent to prison for three years.
Lin Wantang did not stand still. She founded a studio, restored the site of the accident, and continued following the clues her father had left behind. Only when the wrongful conviction took a turn did she discover that Zhou Jiming had written her twenty-four letters during those three years, but never mailed a single one.
When they met again, his old injuries had never healed. Leaning on a cane behind a glass door, he wanted more than anything to return to her side, yet did not dare come closer.
Lin Wantang did not forgive him right away. She only told him:
"This time, you don't get to decide for me whether I stay."
Some people don't lose each other because they stop loving. They mistake parting for protection because they love too much.
