It was the Year of the Horse in Bingwu, the first cold weather in spring, and it was also the last time Cheng Yicheng saw Song Qianxiao.
Once, he was the most colorful stroke in her history, and she was the most flawless prologue on his white paper. In four years, she wrote her secret love into an epic, thinking that as long as she ran fast enough, she could catch up with the wild horse named "him".
But later I realized that the tighter some people hold on, the faster they lose. He is the star in the sky that is hard to pick up, and the thorn in her body that cannot be pulled out. They jumped repeatedly on the edge of love and hate, stabbing each other with the most vicious words, but in the next second they used their remaining tenderness to try to suture the wounds.
This is a redemption about obsession, but also a run that is doomed to failure. After meeting again many years later, the white horses passed by, things changed, and people finally understood: The most painful thing in this world is not separation between life and death, but that I once had you, but I have lost you forever.
Concept: Core point of view: Many times, what we love is not that person, but the perfect illusion that we have built, amplified, and modified in our minds for six years.
Story explanation: Cheng Yicheng has been in love for four years and studied for six years. What she actually loves is "the name on the draft paper" and "the back in the rain after graduation." Song Qianxiao is just a carrier, what really makes her fall into it is her obsession. This reunion in the Year of the Horse symbolizes the price of growth - true letting go is not forgetting, but recognizing. The ending of the story is not about whether to recover the male protagonist, but about Cheng Yicheng finally understanding: The reason why the wild horse is charming is because it belongs to the wilderness, not because it belongs to me. She needed to be herself and stop chasing that wild horse that didn't belong to her.
