Warm, Distant Days

Yao Yuan was a dazzling dream in Xu Xiaonuan's youth, and also a painful ordeal.

Years later, Xu Xiaonuan, who thought she would eventually forget everything, met Yao Yuan again at a class reunion.

By then, Yao Yuan had become a successful man with a flourishing career, while she had ended up divorced and raising a child on her own.

There are three kinds of suffering in this world: meeting those you resent, parting from the ones you love, and wanting something you cannot have. Yao Yuan thought he would be accompanied by suffering forever, but in the end, he still couldn't let go of the past.

When they meet again, will they clear up the misunderstandings of the past? At the crossroads of life, will they find happiness blooming once more?
