When Yu Chen was twelve, he came across a quiet boy in the piano room of a sanatorium.
Later, the boy moved into his home and became part of his life.
Their days were filled with the little details of a happy life. After every dusk and moonlit night they spent side by side, Yu Chen thought things would go on like this forever.
Until an explosion erased Jiang Jie's name from the world.
Then his grandmother passed away, too.
Someone who should have been carefree and full of life could only sleep with the help of medication. Someone who should have shone like the sun was reduced to a walking corpse.
Jiang Jie was already trapped in the mire. How could he let his moon be stained?
He kept silent. He endured. The ring he should have given Yu Chen remained forever in the blazing fire.
From then on, he locked his love away.
Poison became a bargaining chip. Glasses clinked, and time passed.
At last, he could stand beside his A Chen.
So this was it. This was it.
Love is not a cage. It's when you walk in just as I've taken the lock off.
Childhood friends, mutual pining, and a second chance at love.
