Ye Er was born in a small town on the southern border. He went from being an orphan to a top-tier star, but never spoke a word on camera about how much he'd struggled along the way.
From obscurity to fame across the country, Ye Er understood that people only loved the glamour of his public image, not him as a person.
But later, just when he'd hit rock bottom and was at his most wretched, he met the man who loved him most: Han Jiangxue, an irreverent young heir from a powerful family.
That night, at a drinking party, a director harassed Ye Er, leaving him utterly humiliated.
In the corridor, Han Jiangxue came upon the scene. He stubbed out half a cigarette, held out a long, elegant hand, and asked coolly, "Need help? I'm Han Jiangxue. If you want, come with me."
Ye Er reached out and placed his hand in Han Jiangxue's.
He would never let go for the rest of their lives.
Han Jiangxue was the most rebellious playboy in the circles of the powerful.
Their families came from vastly different backgrounds. Ye Er never dared hope they could have a future together, and Han Jiangxue never pressured him to make their relationship public. Their friends joked that they were "half-underground lovers." Han Jiangxue lowered his head, took a drag on his cigarette, and kicked his friend.
They were consumed by a passionate love, yet neither dared say the word "love."
Ye Er didn't know that Han Jiangxue had given him his whole heart from the very start.
From beginning to end, he was Han Jiangxue's beloved, not just his lover.
Three years later, it was too late. Ye Er died in an accident on set.
His suicide note left Han Jiangxue just one sentence:
"If I could live it all over again, I'd still take your hand that day. I don't regret it."
Only after his beloved died did Han Jiangxue finally learn that Ye Er had given him his whole heart, too.
After his beloved's death, one day Han Jiangxue drove lap after lap around an empty racetrack. He died in a catastrophic crash that was all but suicide.
**
Han Jiangxue was reborn at seventeen, back in high school.
He knew his beloved was still back home, in an unremarkable little town in the south.
He arranged to transfer schools and bought a plane ticket south, traveling alone.
**
That summer, at seventeen, Ye Er met someone.
A wealthy, free-spirited transfer student moved in next door.
His name was Han Jiangxue. But when they first met, he looked at Ye Er as if he'd been missing him his whole life.
[*] It's a rebirth story, so of course it'll be sweet~
