The Summer We Can't Return To

“If my story ever ends, I’ll sneak into the Heavenly Court and help you find the North Star, to light the way for your wandering soul.”

That summer, Yan Yunian broke into the closed-off world of a boy.

She thought love could dispel the long-lasting gloom in his heart, but underestimated the weight of his endless inner turmoil.

Worse still, the prejudice of the world and the abyss of illness silently engulfed him.

She tried to reach out and hold on to him, but tragedy still arrived right on time.

Only later did Yan Yunian understand: even passionate love could not bridge the abyss in his heart.
