When they first met, Huo Cen was a top-tier star and Ji Yan was a supporting actress. Their status was worlds apart, and he seemed beyond her reach. But Ji Yan refused to accept that. With all the courage she could muster, she ran toward Huo Cen, even knowing that he kept someone else in his heart, his unattainable first love.
After five years of pursuing him and waiting, the day of their engagement ceremony finally arrived.
Just as Ji Yan thought all her waiting had finally paid off and that she could start a happy life with him, Huo Cen suddenly received news about his first love. He announced on the spot that their engagement was postponed, leaving a table full of guests and Ji Yan in her white veil behind as he flew alone to City W.
Ji Yan laughed through her tears. All those years of companionship and standing by each other meant less than a piece of uncertain news. His first love didn't even have to show up. A little news about her was enough to make Huo Cen forget everything they had shared and rush to her without a second thought.
Ji Yan gave a bitter smile, feeling pathetic even to herself. "Huo Cen, if you walk out that door today, we're over for good. Don't bother coming back!"
Huo Cen paused for a moment, then turned and left.
Ji Yan suddenly understood that some distances couldn't be crossed through her one-sided persistence alone.
She decided to let go. She refused to live forever in the shadow of his first love.
Later, on a snowy night, Huo Cen knelt outside Ji Yan's building all night, crying his heart out as he told her that the person he'd been longing for all along was her.
[I never imagined that the person I couldn't forget for so long had been right by my side all along, and I failed to cherish her.]
[Now she says I'll never be allowed back. So I won't walk back in. I'll crawl. Will she forgive me?]
