Zhuo Zhiyan was reborn at the age of twenty.
She remembered many things about the future.
She remembered that her older sister would die in the line of duty that year. She remembered that at twenty-five, she would meet a woman named Zhou Jintang at a concert.
They would start dating, kiss, fall in love, and move in together as naturally as breathing. On sleepless nights, Zhou Jintang would hold her close. She would remember everything Zhuo Zhiyan liked, and late at night, she would lower her head and softly kiss her eyes.
When Zhuo Zhiyan died, the person she couldn't bear to leave behind was Zhou Jintang.
But after being reborn, she went to the university to find her sister, only to meet Zhou Jintang at twenty-two, years earlier than expected.
The sun was shining brightly that day. Her sister stood beside Zhou Jintang, who was holding her bag for her and smiling warmly.
Zhuo Zhiyan suddenly remembered: in her previous life, Zhou Jintang had had an ex.
She had never told her who that person was.
At that moment, all the answers fell into place. No wonder Zhou Jintang had been so willing to kiss her eyes.
It had been her sister.
If her sister lived, Zhou Jintang would no longer be hers.
But so what?
Her sister would always be her sister.
So Zhuo Zhiyan did everything she could to save her sister, keeping her alive past the age of twenty-two and leaving Zhou Jintang by her side.
Then she went abroad.
She thought, it was all right. As long as her sister was alive, nothing else mattered.

Six years later, twenty-six-year-old Zhuo Zhiyan returned to Hong Kong City.
Her sister came to meet her at the airport exit. Zhou Jintang came, too.
Though they'd been apart for years, Zhou Jintang was still just as Zhuo Zhiyan remembered. She took her luggage, remembered her migraines, and softly asked when she lowered her head, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhuo Zhiyan wanted her more than anything, and hated herself for being so despicable.
That was her sister's person.
She had stolen her once in her previous life. No matter what, she shouldn't touch her again in this life.
So whenever Zhou Jintang took a step closer, Zhuo Zhiyan took one back. Whenever Zhou Jintang treated her a little more kindly, she fled a little farther.
Until one day, her sister finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Zhuo Zhiyan, don't you like Zhou Jintang?"
Zhuo Zhiyan was silent for a long time before she said, "Isn't she your girlfriend? Why would I like her?"
Her sister: "?"
Only then did Zhuo Zhiyan learn that the woman she'd pushed away time and again had loved her all along.
