Eighteen-year-old Li Zhaoyue had all her expectations shattered by her parents' sudden divorce. In a state of confusion, she failed the college entrance examination, packed her bags and left her hometown, heading to a seaside city alone to start her university life.
A chance encounter in a lemon tea shop led her to meet Fu Jingxu.
He is eight years older than her, runs a quiet small shop, has a gentle and transparent personality, and can always soothe the uneasiness in her heart. The affection spreads quietly as they get along day after day. It is a cautious two-way secret love between two people. Finally, Fu Jingxu took the lead in breaking the window paper and confessed to her, and the two officially came together.
But the girl's passionate and pure longing, and the adults' considerations of weighing reality, could not come together after all. The eight-year age difference gradually revealed an insurmountable gap. Differences of thought and different life plans brought about by growing up experiences, layers of conflicts continue to arise, and the once tender love is slowly consumed by the pull.
In desperation, they had no choice but to separate.
As time goes by, people go their separate ways.
Later, Fu Jingxu obeyed the secular world, met the right person, and established a stable family.
But Li Zhaoyue never had a heartbeat again and spent the rest of her long life alone.
The evening breeze, the fragrance of lemon tea and the bright moonlight by the sea that year became an old dream that she could never recreate for the rest of her life.
