He spent his life guarding the lights of thousands of homes, while she spent the rest of her life waiting for a miracle.
Every year when the sycamore leaves fall, An Jue returns to the old house, cooks a plate of braised pork ribs, and sets out two pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
This is the agreement she made with Han Mu - the young police officer who will always stay in the fire.
She lived her life guarding her suicide note, thinking that all she had left in her life was memories. Until a sudden fire made her see the hidden truth on the edge of life and death.
It turns out that the deepest farewell is for the grandest reunion. When everyone thought the story was over, the gears of fate had just begun to turn.
This is a story about waiting and protecting, year after year, and finally complete.
Purpose: This book explores the different forms of love through An Jue and Han Mu's watch across life and death - both passionate and silent protection. It tells us that true love can penetrate the barriers of time and death, breed hope in desperate situations, and witness eternity in sacrifice. This is a story about "waiting" and "worth it", showing the light of human nature blooming under the ultimate test.
