In the romance films that Ji Dong staged alone during her youth, Shen Zhixing was her only protagonist and the audience she could never reach.
From a bottle of water during military training in the midsummer, to the deliberate and restrained brushing of shoulders in the corridor behind the division, she carefully hid all the chaos of war.
That brief tenderness by the river in late spring was the sweetness stolen from her youth, and it was also a regret that she chewed over and over in the long years to come.
They obviously went in both directions, but at the age when they should be bravest, they chose the safest silence.
Time goes round and round, and the two of them have long since returned to ordinary life on their own paths.
It was not until many years later that an old music box was opened, and those loves that Ji Dong had hidden away for years were finally seen by Shen Zhixing.
He had been sober for half his life, but the moment he understood her silent love, he felt a surge of sourness.
It turned out that in their best years, they had loved each other so deeply, and yet they had missed each other so completely.
Concept: Although there are regrets in youth, every pure sincerity is worthy of being treated tenderly by the years.
