They had never met each other. Until a car accident separated their fates, their souls were intertwined and their bodies were dislocated.
She lives in him. He lives in her. Then fell in love.
Look at each other with each other's eyes and love each other with each other's heartbeat. Love is so absurd, yet so true.
Later he became physically ill. Brain cancer. Like a lamp, slowly dimming.
She said, don't change it. Live for me.
He doesn't. Hold her and close your eyes, then open them again. She is still her, and he is still him. Can't change it back.
She's gone. Walked with his face.
White sheets, disinfectant, family members crying together - it was "him" who was crying, it was Shen Gu. They didn't know that lying there was the person who died for him. He stood beside her, tears falling from her eyes. No one knew that it was Shen Gu crying for Lin Zhiyi.
Want to die for love. But it was her face in the mirror. Comb her hair, wear her dress, walk the path she has not yet finished. He couldn't do it.
I met my college roommate that day. Standing in the light, the arc of his smile - like "him" in the past? No, not like she used to be. But Su Wan looked like Lin Zhiyi, and he was now living in Lin Zhiyi's body.
He looked at Su Wan's "own" face, and a thought came to his mind, colder than a knife: Why wasn't she the one who died?
Then he understood. Su Wan will not be a substitute. He couldn't love anyone else with her body.
After loving her, all love has become an old friend.
Intention: She died in my body. I live in her body. Later I met someone like her - only to realize that I had become another person for her. Someone who will never fall in love with anyone again.
