Trapped in Love

The first time Meng Xi saw Han Shan, when she was eighteen, she was stunned by his beauty. From then on, she drew a prison called Han Shan and became miserably trapped inside, unable to escape. So many years passed. Behind her laughter piled up endless sorrow, with no one to share it with and no way to put it into words. Just as Meng Xi, whose heart had turned to ashes, tried to leave her prison, Han Shan did everything he could to rekindle those dying embers. He even locked the prison door from the outside, keeping her trapped and forbidding her to escape.

On the night of Han Shan's nineteenth birthday, in that intoxicating summer night, everything suddenly spiraled out of control. After teasing her, Han Shan panicked and staggered away, fleeing completely. Many years passed. He married, built a career, and had a child, but what about his heart? The little stream that had flowed through it for so many years had long since carved an indelible mark into it. Now that stream said it wanted to nourish someone else, and Han Shan could no longer stay calm.

Meng Xi says, "Han Shan, let me go. I don't want to waste any more time. What we have is nothing but... a doomed relationship!"

Han Shan says, "You think I haven't tried to let you go? I tried with all my might years ago. But after letting go for all these years, I still can't. What do you want me to do? Do you think I want things to be this way?"

They were like trees planted in each other's hearts. Year after year, month after month, day after day, their roots had long since entwined with their flesh and blood. To rip them out by the roots would surely leave their hearts shattered, and by then, they might never be able to piece them back together.

Reality is already harsh and disheartening enough. If we can't find joy in the virtual world, too, that would be just awful. So please believe me: the ending is definitely HE!
