Depressed:
When I was six years old, my mother passed away. No goodbye, no explanation.
I have since learned to push people away before they leave.
Ji Lian is the fifth agent my dad has hired.
I thought she would be like those before her and not survive three months.
But she didn't leave.
She helped me back to the car after I got caught in the rain and said "I'm here" when I collapsed.
Then she left too.
Ji Lian:
I have been an agent for six years, and everyone I have managed says I am good.
But I know that there is a distance between my goodness.
Until I encountered depression.
She acted in a scene in the rain, her lips turned purple from the cold, and she asked me, "Did I do a good job just now?"
At that moment I knew I was done.
Later her father came to me and said you must either leave her or destroy her.
I chose to leave.
But the embers did not die out.
They:
This is not a story from scratch.
This is a story of rebirth from the ashes.
They are two curves, entangled.
It's a Möbius strip with no end.
It was an ember—burnt and still hot.
Intention: Shen Yu thought that Ji Liao was here to save her.
Ji Ling thought that she could always stand by Shen Yu's side.
Later they found out——
Some feelings are not fire, but embers.
It has been burned and is still hot.
It's gone, but it's still bright.
The day her mother left, Shen Yu learned that "everyone can walk away".
The day Ji Lian left, she thought she had guessed right again.
But Ji Lian is back.
Not because of Shen Bainian's transaction, not because of that agreement,
It's because - she can't let go.
Shen Yu said: "We are a Möbius strip. There is only one side and no end. No matter where you go, you can't get out of my world."
Ji Lian said: "I never thought about walking out."
This is a story of ruins, embers, and rekindling.
A story that looks like BE but is actually HE.
They are not starting from scratch.
They are rekindled from the embers.
