In the regular life of top student Shen Chumian, the only betrayal was falling in love with Song Wanshi, a rebellious boy who slept in class. The underground love affair hidden in the corner of the corridor and beside the basketball court was her only breath against the suffocating world.
However, the throbbing of youth was eventually worn away by reality. A plain and cruel breakup, with no hardships or sacrifices, just a young man's love that gradually cools down in a new environment.
After that, the paths of life completely diverge. He walked lightly towards a new life, got married and had children, forgetting her in the dust of the years; but she was trapped in the same place, using paranoid nostalgia that was almost self-destructive, and finally burned her life away.
Until the end of his life, Shen Chumian weaved a grand fantasy for himself. She "traveled" back to ten years ago, and in her fantasy, she forcibly added the unforgettable affection and hardship of young love to that scrawled farewell, completing a gentle self-deception.
She thought this was the end of the story.
The real tragedy was belatedly revealed at the class reunion many years later. When Song Wanshi, who was already a husband and father, accidentally learned that the past he had left behind was actually a maze that a girl could not get out of throughout her life, the belated truth became a shackles that he could not break free from for the rest of his life.
He finally knew that the girl he had forgotten in his youth spent her whole life writing an undeliverable suicide note to him.
Purpose: To explore the cruel inequality between memory and love, as well as the self-salvation and ultimate tragedy that individuals construct between reality and fantasy when facing trauma.
