Synopsis
In the early 1990s, Zhao Kuoxiong, a handsome and elegant young man in the system, fell in love with Zhou Yue, a beautiful female clerk, and lived together, and funded her to open a store to make a living. The two were deeply in love and agreed to hold a replacement wedding in the future because they were married in separate rooms in their workplace. A business trip that lasted for half a year completely changed the fate of two people. Zhou Yue, who stayed behind to open a shop, suffered from loneliness and hard work, and gradually wavered under the deliberate care and kindness of her friend Wu Ya. She betrayed her marriage with a weak thought and decided to file for divorce. The relationship that had been in love for several years suddenly collapsed. Zhao Kuoxiong was severely hurt. He once fell into deep hatred and had thoughts of extreme revenge, but finally kept his heart and stopped at the cliff. Desperate, he resigned from his stable public position and moved away from home, and his life completely hit rock bottom. His business failed miserably and he was penniless. He spent several years at the bottom of society, experiencing all the suffering in the world. In a desperate situation, he met a noble person by chance. With his calm mind and transparent structure, he turned the tables against the wind. After years of hard work, he finally built a career. He owns a chain restaurant and real estate industry, and completely changed his life. Twelve years passed and the reconstruction of the old city brought the two people together unexpectedly. Zhou Yue, who had abandoned her feelings in the past, had long been deceived and abandoned by Wu Ya. She had lost both her life and money, and was trapped in an old house living in poverty. Face to face again, Zhao Kuoxiong has no hatred, no love, no resentment and no forgiveness. He no longer clings to the entanglement between right and wrong, but only fulfills the promise he made sincerely when he was young, paving a safe way out for her for the rest of his life. No revenge, no reconciliation, no forgiveness. Grudges belong to the past, and promises belong to the heart. A regretful love that spans half a lifetime, finally leads to self-consummation and complete reconciliation with the old life. Purpose: 1. The complexity and diversity of human nature: Breaking away from black-and-white moral judgments and showing the struggles and limitations of ordinary people in their destiny - Zhou Yue's fault hides loneliness and fragility, and Zhao Kuoxiong's hatred retains the warmth of the past, restoring the grayscale and reality of human nature. 2. The deep core of a promise: The "immortality" of a promise does not lie in binding two people to stay together for a lifetime, but in that the original intention of giving each other happiness has never been lost. Even if the relationship is over, still completing the account in a decent way is a sign of respect for those years. 3. The proposition of growth and reconciliation: The true maturity of life is to not be trapped in hatred or indulge in the past, to let go of obsession after going through ups and downs, and to reach reconciliation with the unbearable past, the old friends who made mistakes, and the awkward self.
