The Ring on a String

Fate can appear at any time, and bring people back together after years apart.

In middle school, a boy met a girl twice. Their brief acquaintance became a memory he could never erase.

No words, no messages, just simple, innocent smiles.

When they met again six years later, the boy saw it as fate giving them another chance. For the girl, it was the first time fate had touched her. Unbeknownst to her, she was moved by the tenderness he had kept hidden, and gradually came to depend on him.

The boy is a violin prince who made his name in Europe. Every note he plays is praised as perfect by musicians, yet no one notices the sadness and loneliness behind his music.

The girl is an ordinary student at Yulin College. She longs to play the music she loves with her own hands, but circumstances have kept her from ever touching a violin. All she can do is stare at its shape and imagine.

They admire and get to know each other, and without meaning to, begin to fall in love.

A silver-shining ring engraved with a four-leaf clover, a symbol of happiness, rests close to the heart. It is as if the ring can hear the other's heartbeat and forever protect their heart.

But their beautiful dream comes to an abrupt end, and nightmares begin to haunt them.

A car accident leaves an invisible pane of glass between them. Blood and tears merge, carrying them into a nightmarish Alice's world.
