In 1936, sixteen-year-old Zhu Yu stood on a flower boat on White Goose Pool when she heard a tremendous roar from the sky and couldn't help looking up at the horizon.

She saw the man she loved, piloting a plane as it swooped down from the sky like a bird, skimmed over her head, then traced a graceful arc and soared straight back into the clouds.

Only later did she learn that he had been saying goodbye to her. He would never return.

But she would never know that they would meet again, even though that reunion belonged to the next century.

In 2020, Guo Yanhui returned from the United States and met a young woman at the West Lake Museum in Hangzhou.

At a single, fleeting glance, he understood what it meant to love someone at first sight for a thousand years.

Much later, they met again in Alaska.

Whenever snow drifted down from the sky, he was always happy to see her.

He would never know that long, long ago, he had flown a plane and brought down a snowstorm of breathtaking beauty for her.

"Loving you has always been my destiny."

******The new novel Twin Interpretations is currently updating. Welcome to read it!******

You Wei considers the worst mistake she ever made to be the time she lost her head and, after a drunken night, stained Jiang Yao, a blank slate, black.

After he sobered up, he gave her a cold look while pressing his aching temples, all the while continuing to work on his thesis, whose subject was "the fruit of the poisonous tree."

Long after she chose to leave him of her own accord, she would think that those four words had already foretold that a relationship begun in error was destined to end badly.

Since becoming a criminal defense lawyer, Jiang Yao has always upheld the scales of justice, no matter whom he represents, trying to secure the fairest possible outcome for them.

Yet he was the one who suffered the greatest injustice. It wasn't that night with You Wei. It was that just as he fell for her, she tossed him aside like garbage in London.

Since she didn't want him anymore, he would never look back.

Years later, after she returned to China, someone knocked on her door.

He stood outside, his expression indifferent. "I've come to pay you back."

She frowned. "There's no need."

But he, usually so buttoned-up, had already undone his top button. "Or do you need some other form of compensation?"

"Let's go to hell together, and at the very end, see if we can seize a glimmer of light."

Theme: Love and faith can endure the passage of time, overcome anything, and remain true until death.
