Ling Li once thought that loving him meant swallowing all the suffering alone and pushing him away from the end of her life with a decisive breakup.
At the age of twenty-seven, she was diagnosed with late-stage gastric cancer, and her life began to count down. Facing Jiang Yan, whom she had loved for ten years, she chose to use the cruelest lie to disguise her heartlessness, forcing him to let go and walk towards an unknown death alone. She thought that in this way, she could protect him for the rest of his life, make him forget about herself completely, and rush to a future without pain.
Three years later, Ling Li had already turned into a handful of loess. And Jiang Yan, in the long longing and unwillingness, married a gentle wife, had a lovely daughter, and seemed to have achieved the perfection she expected. But when the truth exploded like thunder, he realized that the breakup that year was not a betrayal, but the deep love that she risked her life to protect; her departure was not to rush to a new life, but to walk alone into the abyss of despair.
Holding her last words in his arms, he knelt in front of the cold tombstone, heartbroken. He had everything she expected, but lost her forever. This belated truth became a shackles that he could not let go of throughout his life.
This is a farewell in the name of love, a regret of separation between yin and yang. She exchanged death for the rest of his life to be stable, but he was burdened with eternal regret in the midst of perfection. It turns out that the most painful thing is not the separation, but that I am as happy as you want, but I have forever lost the opportunity to say that I love you.
Purpose: Using the ultimate sacrifice of "concealing a terminal illness and taking the initiative to break up", explore the contradiction between deep love and fulfillment, reveal that "self-righteous protection" actually leads to eternal regrets of separation between yin and yang, and highlight the sadistic core of miss and regret.
