That year, spring breezes swept down the long street as Su Wan and Lu Zeyu fell in love at first sight. The young lovers’ feelings were ardent and open. They promised that once the dust had settled, they would live together in a little courtyard, side by side from dawn to dusk, year after year. But fate has never been kind enough to grant every couple their happy ending. A sudden upheaval came between them, breeding misunderstandings and forcing them into choices they never wanted to make. It tore apart two hearts that had once been so close. Their farewell was not grand: just a hurried goodbye, then a turn away and a long separation.
Years passed before they met again.
When they did, the world had changed completely. Su Wan had shed the rash enthusiasm that once shone in her eyes and tucked away every trace of softness. Calm and restrained in all she did, she was no longer the girl who had followed at his heels, her eyes alight with joy. Lu Zeyu stood at the pinnacle of power, his edge undimmed. He had never stopped searching for the truth behind their parting, and the wound Su Wan had left deep in his heart had never healed.
Their reunion brought nothing but tension. The pain of the past stood between them as misunderstandings buried by time, hardships left unexplained, and all the years they had missed one by one came to light. Caught between love and hate, they feared the hurt their past had brought, yet could not let go of the feelings still burning in their hearts. Time had changed their faces and their natures, but it could not erase the heart-stopping love they had felt as youngsters.
Years apart, and time stretched endlessly on. Should they finally let go of the old love sealed away by regret and forget each other for good, or cross the gulf of all those years and reclaim the bond they never got to finish? Some feelings, once awakened, can never be stilled. And some people remain an obsession in your heart, no matter how many years pass after you part.
They fell in love when they were young, then an accident forced them apart, and years passed before they met again. When Su Wan and Lu Zeyu reunite, no longer innocent youngsters, they are separated by old wounds and long-standing misunderstandings. They try to avoid the pain of the past even as they succumb to a love that never faded, and amid their tangled love and hate, they search for the truth behind their separation.
