He initially only wanted to resolve his own inner demons and regain his lost memories, but he was pestered by Xie Zhifei, the third master of the Xie family, who claimed to have an inner demon himself. Yan Sanhe didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the living, but Xie Zhifei insisted, "They all say I'll die young, so consider this my pre-arranged fate."

   What's regrettable? It's the tragic beauty of mutual unrequited love. "Reality isn't a fairy tale; no prince will come to save her." No one knows that Ye Xiao spent a full 15 years waiting for him, waiting for the rain to stop. In sixth grade, the male lead transferred to the female lead's class as a transfer student, becoming her deskmate. "A knight's duty is to protect the princess. Don't worry, with me here, I'll never let you lose." On that rainy day when she was 12, she leaned on his back and asked him, "We won't be separated in the future, right?" But after that year, they were like the most familiar strangers. They met again in high school. The male lead thought the female lead hated him terribly, and the female lead thought the male lead already had someone he liked. Thus, the distance between them grew further and further. It turns out that fate only granted them one autumn season together. Everyone thought they had no chemistry, and everyone repeatedly tried to clarify the rumors. But it wasn't a rumor; they never liked each other—that was the biggest rumor. Later, they went to the north and south respectively, achieving success in their careers and finding fulfillment in their love lives. The male protagonist saw the message he had missed: "I hate Ruan Yusheng the most, but I still love Ruan Yusheng the most, only Ruan Yusheng!" "This rain came too late, a full 15 years late." He spent 15 years waiting, and then a lifetime regretting it. Their story didn't have to end when he was 12. "I want to cry because of lingering feelings, or because we were meant to be a perfect couple." Some people, some things, once missed, are missed forever. "I should have known that bubbles burst at the slightest touch. Just like a wounded heart, unbearable torment." "Love is a bubble, it's my fault for not seeing through it, that's why I'm so heartbroken." —From "Bubble"
