When the Blossoms Fall, New Beginnings

Tianzhu keeps people at a distance. As Zhuo En puts it, she seems to have no awareness: she doesn't know hot from cold, feels no pain, and is always indifferent to everything, lost in her own world, entranced and sometimes even sinking into it. Tianzhu always believes that dreams are real and must exist for a reason. She searches for them deliberately, yet hides herself deeply; she's impossible to figure out, so all they can do is watch. She thinks their existence is connected to her dreams, and that reaching out to them is the most direct approach. But she seems to lack awareness, and her coldness is always directed at the other person. She cruelly lets one wound after another go untreated. Only Zhuo En understands her intentions. She's not being melodramatic, nor is she deliberately putting on a cold front. She simply can't tell reality from illusion. She thinks that if you can't forget someone, they'll eventually respond; she thinks even silent devotion can be felt. But she sees human warmth and coldness as far simpler than they are. She says Bai Chuan is like a shadow: no matter how far apart they are, they can understand each other's hearts. She says Lin Heng is too perfect, and that even when he hurts someone, he means no harm. She's devoted to Jiang Ru, but when he lets her down, she doesn't blame him. She simply accepts it.

It all begins with a dream. She never wakes up, and yet it seems as though it never ended. She wholeheartedly believes that everything happens because of her, so the ending feels like nothing more than another beginning.
