Lu Jinsheng was born as a spark buried in the dust, solitary and obsessive, his body covered in scars. In this life, he dares to hold on to only one thing: a light named Shen Yubai.
Shen Yubai was born as snow falling in a frigid night, gentle and fragile, plagued by illness. He spends the rest of his life trying to warm a flame destined to go out.
They are the only salvation in each other's dark, hopeless lives, and the shackles that bind them for life.
Their love is hidden in restraint, their pain buried in silence. The deeper they love, the more they suffer. The closer they get, the more wounded they become.
He protects him with all the violence in his heart, yet personally drags him into an endless sea of misery;
He offers him the last of his tenderness to soothe his loneliness, yet spends his life and ends in ruin.
At last, the bitter winter comes. The snow melts, and the ember goes out.
They loved each other, but there is no reunion, no happy ending, and no next life.
Only one person remains, keeping watch in endless loneliness, suffering through every day of the rest of his life, thinking of him year after year until death.
"I'll turn the rest of my life to ashes in exchange for your peace, year after year."
Theme: Souls destined to suffer can hardly save one another. They can only wither away together in love.
