Six years ago, Xu Jingan thought he had a dream.
In the dream, a young man said that if we have a child, his name will be Shen Xu. In the dream, there is fishing under the moonlight, and there is the warmth of fingers intertwined on the skating rink. At the end of the dream, she was waiting for a text message: Now is not the right time.
When she woke up, she lost more than just a child. The photos that went viral on forums, the knife that pierced the abdomen in the alley, the doctor's verdict that she would never be able to have children again - everything told her the truth: some people should never have met in the first place.
She fled to another place, guarding the specialty shop left by her aunt, and lived like a dead tree - the trunk was still there, but no new leaves could grow.
It wasn't until six years later that Shen Han appeared in front of her again.
He said that the text message was not sent by him. He said that he had never let go over the years. He said that he wanted a chance to start over.
Xu Jing'an smiled. She pointed to the cedar outside the door and said in a calm tone without any waves: "Look at that tree, its roots are rotten. No matter how much you water it, it won't grow new leaves."
He thought the biggest debt was the betrayal back then, but he didn't know that at the moment he fell silent, her entire life had been turned upside down.
When the truth of the old case was revealed layer by layer, and when the hidden malice surfaced - Shen Han finally understood that what he owed her was never an apology, but a choice that he should have made six years ago.
Intention: Guilt and redemption, letting go and self-reconciliation
