"The scar that hurts to the core"
In the narrow alley of the old city, eighteen-year-old Lin Xiao met Jiang Che, who was carrying an old guitar on his back. The light and loneliness in his eyes became her thoughts throughout the summer. A two-way youth love took root in Jiang Che's music dream. He promised to take her to see the sea after he became famous, but when the stars were shining brightly, he drifted away from her due to the coercion of reality, leaving behind broken vows and bitter betrayal.
Three years later, the two reunited unexpectedly in the hospital - the once dazzling singer became a comatose car accident patient, and Lin Xiao re-entered his life as a nurse. The truth was revealed, and the betrayal back then was all involuntary, but the cruelty of fate was far from over: after Jiang Che woke up, he forever lost the ability to play guitar and sing.
The despair of his dream's collapse led him to arm himself with spikes and vent his deepest pain to the people he loved most; while Lin Xiao, with obsession and heartache, struggled to hold on amidst misunderstandings and injuries. When the two finally took off their guard and planned to escape the hustle and bustle and live an ordinary life, death suddenly came and took away the promise of watching the sea that they had not had time to fulfill.
Jiang Che became a scar engraved in Lin Xiao's bones. As time went by, she carried this eternal regret and longing, moving forward alone in a world without him, and going to a lonely date at the beach every summer. This sadomasochism, which started in midsummer and ended with parting, was full of regret and affection, and revealed the involuntary and unforgettable love in love.
Purpose: Using sadomasochism as a vehicle to explore the fragility and tenacity of true emotions in the face of unpredictable fate - even if the promise is broken and the lover leaves, the thoughts and pain engraved in the bone marrow will eventually become an indelible mark in life, supporting people to move on with regrets.
