Lisianthus

New Year's Eve fireworks filled the sky. That was where their story began.

Xiao Xingmu was afflicted with an incurable illness.

When he fell deeply in love with Xu Yanshan, he once wanted to run away, but in the end he chose to embrace their love without reservation.

He quietly endured his illness until an unexpected attack exposed his secret completely.

Xu Yanshan did not back down. She resolved to stay by his side through the little time he had left.

They bought balloon flower seeds and promised to wait for them to bloom together.

The seeds had barely been planted when Xiao Xingmu died in her arms.

He whispered, "It's a shame I can't stay with you to see the balloon flowers bloom."

Through the long years that followed, Xu Yanshan never married.

In her final years, she came to his grave and rested her forehead against the cold headstone. In a daze, she could almost feel him holding her once more.

It began on New Year's Eve and ended with the rest of her life.

The flowers will bloom in time, but her beloved will never return.

Theme: Though life may be fleeting, sincere love can endure throughout the long years that follow.
