"If our encounter started with a complete lie, would you still love me?"
The young cellist Shen Qingxian is cold and lonely, like a dusty ice sculpture, imprisoning an unbearable past and secrets deep in the cage of his heart. The up-and-coming painter Lin Wan, bright and flamboyant, like a blazing flame, boldly broke into her world with unreserved love and sincerity.
Their meeting was praised by the world as a perfect match of artistic souls. Lin Wan used colors to paint her gray world with light, and Shen Qingxian used musical notes to compose affectionate notes for her unrestrained life. In a corner where no one knows, their love grows wildly like a vine, entwining the most touching picture in the world.
However, beneath this magnificent dream is a bottomless reef. Every time Shen Qingxian gazed affectionately, he was looking at the shadow of another person through Lin Wan; every gentle promise was burdened with unspeakable heavy shackles. Lin Wan is the perfect "replacement" in the hands of her first love, Gu Huaijin. As for Shen Qingxian himself, he personally put on a gorgeous coat for this stand-in game and was the most silent accomplice of the "lies".
When the truth, wrapped in the old dreams and blood of five years ago, was revealed in the cruelest way - all the sweetness was instantly shattered, and all dependence became a sharp blade of irony. Lin Wan's world completely collapsed. She burned all the paintings she had created for love, threw back the silver bracelet that promised her love, and never left.
"Shen Qingxian, you loved me with lies, and I once loved you in that lie with my life."
Five years is enough time for the scars to scab, but it cannot erase the thoughts and regrets engraved in the bone marrow. When fate brings them together again, one carries a heavy secret and the other carries irresolvable hatred. In the ashes of lies burned out, can they still find a glimmer of "truth"? And for whom will the finale song called "Lies" be played?
Intent: This is not just a story about "I love you", but a story about "who I am" and whether we have the courage to tear off all labels and love and be loved with our true, imperfect selves on the ruins of truth.
