There is an invisible law in the world: everyone is born with a "truth quota". If you say a hurtful word, one point will be deducted. After the deduction is completed, it will become a "silent shadow" - a translucent existence, forgotten by everyone until it disappears.
The only salvation is to sign a "tacit agreement": use all the memories of love and exchange a true word to say it to the person who made you like this. After you finish speaking, you will disappear completely, and those who listen will only think of it as a gust of wind.
Lu Ye is the keeper of the contract and is responsible for sending Silent Shadow on his way. In the past ninety-seven years, he has seen off 437 people, remembering everyone's face, but never being remembered by anyone.
Until that New Year's Eve, he met a woman who could see him.
Her name is Su Zhan, she is twenty-four years old and came to this city to attend a wedding. That person is the sweetheart she has been waiting for for twenty years, and she will marry someone else tomorrow.
After seven days together, he was moved.
On New Year's Eve, in the sky full of fireworks, she stood outside the wedding door and said to the back the words she had been holding back for twenty years.
The moment her words fell, she began to disappear.
He finally broke the iron rule of the contract keeper and said the words he had been waiting for a hundred years:
"I like you and have been waiting for you for a hundred years."
Then he too began to dissipate.
At dawn, there was only a blank contract left in the snow, blown away by the wind.
There is no more Lu Ye or Su Zhan in the world.
Those true words that were not spoken were eventually buried in time along with the person who said them.

Intention: Those words that had no time to be said were eventually buried in time along with those who said them.
