When the autumn woods turn red, the story of Shen Ran and Lu Zeci comes to an end.
They met as teenagers and shared their youth, once believing that they would walk through the long years together. But a sudden misunderstanding drove them apart. After years apart, Shen Ran puts away her once-vibrant, spirited nature and quietly tends to her own life, never mentioning the feelings she had as a girl. Lu Zeci keeps moving forward until he reaches heights others can only look up to, but the grove in his heart, stained red by autumn winds, still has an empty corner.
They unexpectedly meet again at an industry reception. The moment their eyes meet, all the memories they had deliberately buried surge back. Shen Ran only wants to avoid him and leave that regret behind, but Lu Zeci refuses to let her go again. He didn't know how to love her before and could only watch her walk away. Given another chance, he wants to overcome every barrier and keep her by his side.
The wounds of the past have yet to heal completely, and old grudges, other people's suspicions, and the many obstacles of reality pile up between them. Shen Ran hesitates and retreats, afraid to give her heart away too easily. Lu Zeci patiently lets go of his sharp edges and draws closer bit by bit, learning to be considerate and gentle as he helps her face the truth buried for so many years.
Mountains blaze red, and the forests are dyed in every shade. These autumn hills, once steeped in separation and longing, will at last witness a reunion with what was lost. Love isn't just the passion of youth; it is the resolve to keep reaching for each other even after weathering the storms. They cross the ravines of time and untangle their long-buried heartaches, finally understanding that the grand love they felt back then never faded with the autumn wind. Like red leaves covering the mountains, it has burned brightly deep within them all along.
Years ago, Shen Ran and Lu Zeci parted on an autumn day, leaving things unresolved. When they meet again years later, old feelings return, and layers of past misunderstandings are revealed. Mountains blaze red, and the forests are dyed in every shade. After all their twists and turns, they reclaim their lost love amid the autumn colors.
The autumn wind dyes the woods, and after a long separation, the two find their way back to each other through the winding years.
