When he was eighteen years old, his parents divorced, and the wind in Qinglin Town became desolate.
Jiang Wu was forced to bid farewell to her entire family. Her father came to her door every now and then to ask for money. After her grandmother passed away, in such a big town, only the Lin family was left to give her a little warmth.
Zhou Qingxu, a young boy from Huinan from outside, suddenly broke into the dull town. Born in a foreign land, he was ostracized and beaten by the locals. In the dark and narrow alley, Jiang Wu reached out to save him.
The young man whispered to her that she was not an unwanted child, the butterflies would stay for her, and the roses would bloom for her.
After a hasty farewell, changes in the Zhou family forced him to return to Huinan. After three long years of waiting, they reunited after a long absence and fell in love with each other. After years of desolation and loneliness, Jiang Wu thought he had finally caught the light to redeem himself, and he promised to accompany her through all the joys and sorrows in the future.
Until the truth tore through the illusion of gentleness, she suddenly realized that Zhou Qingxu was just an illusion born of long loneliness from beginning to end. Heartbeats, promises, and longing for each other are all beautiful dreams she weaves alone.
With his dream shattered and his desire for survival completely shattered, Jiang Wu chose to end his life. Before her death, she entrusted Xiang Qing with the hope that her ashes would be scattered into the sea. Trapped in the Jiang family residence and the small and isolated Qinglin Town all her life, she looked forward to borrowing sea water after her death to travel to places she had never seen before.
But fate refused to leave the last bit of room.
Before Xiang Qing could fulfill her friend's last wish, she died tragically due to domestic violence from her husband.
A two-way redemption that began with loneliness was originally a life-saving straw for two broken people. One was trapped in false dreams and perished, while the other fell into a secular marriage and ended in tragic death. During the long and dreary years of the town, no one was rescued, and the land was left desolate.
That redemption was just a fantasy of mine from beginning to end.
Intention: Don't wait for redemption, the only one you can believe in is yourself
