An accident separated twin sisters, and a piece of jasmine candy paid for half of their lifelong obsession.
Shen Yu bears the blood feud for the tragic death of his parents, and after overthrowing the wealthy family, he suddenly realizes that the redemption he longed for was actually Gu Wan, who was indirectly hurt by him.
He was covered in sin and did not dare to touch that pure love, so he could only push it away cruelly.
After being in prison for twelve years, she hid in the crowd and became the unknown guardian behind her, clearing away all the thorns in the world for her.
After witnessing her attaining worldly perfection, he wrote a final letter confessing the entire truth when he was suffering from terminal cancer.
I owe you what I owe you, and I will spend the rest of my life repaying it, but I will never deserve your love.
Intention: True protection may not mean standing side by side in the sun, but it can also be atonement and fulfillment hidden in the shadows. Shen Yu's protection is never a natural companionship. He is full of sins and has personally caused the scars on the fate of the heroine, so he knows that he is not qualified to stand by her side. So he chose to hide his name and retreat to the darkness of the crowd, shielding her from the wind and rain of the world, but not asking to see her, not asking for a response, not asking to be known. Love has many forms. There is a kind of love that makes me unable to get close to you, but I want to protect you and keep you safe throughout your life. Love and hate are misplaced, fate plays tricks on people. He spent his whole life carrying a blood feud, leaving all the light to Gu Wan, while he stayed in the darkness to accept the retribution of fate. Protection is not in exchange for perfection, but the redemption that can only be given to those who owe money. Love does not necessarily mean staying together, but fulfillment also means protecting.
