A gorgeous, infamous top-tier star x a universally acclaimed A-list actor
At twenty-three, Jiang Su broke up with his lover and threw himself completely into work, earning a reputation as a workaholic.
At twenty-seven, Jiang Su had achieved success and gained both fame and fortune.
At twenty-eight, Jiang Su suddenly found his long-estranged ex at home. His ex wore ill-fitting pajamas, his exquisite features still youthful and innocent. He folded his arms and glared at Jiang Su, just as bad-tempered and confrontational as ever, demanding:
"You said you'd spend my twentieth birthday with me. Why didn't you show up?"
"You said we'd move to a bigger place. Why are we still living somewhere this run-down?"
"And why did you throw away my clothes? Didn't you say this was our home?"
Jiang Su didn't look at him. Frowning, his expression cold, he told him:
"It's 2026. You're already twenty-six, and we've been broken up for years, Tong Nian."
Twenty-year-old Tong Nian was still dating him. Twenty-eight-year-old Jiang Su had been apart from him for years.
Jiang Su had a secret: someone who shouldn't exist was hidden away in his home. He had another secret, too. On many nights, he watched the person sleeping peacefully beside him, never daring to ask how he had come to be there. Until one day, he had no choice but to face it: Tong Nian's "retirement from the industry," and the farewell that had never come to pass.
"Tong Nian, Tong Nian."
Facing the mirror, Jiang Su mouthed the name, awkwardly forming the syllables, but no one answered anymore.
Jiang Su wasn't someone who liked looking back on the past, but later, he often thought that he should have been less stubborn.
Time passes, but the years remain; all that's left is longing.
