Ye Lu has three secrets:

1. Chen Yanqi's dream is to become an air force combat director.

2. When Chen Yanqi carried her out of the ruins, he granted her one wish.

3. Everyone is obsessed with Chen Yanqi. So is she.

For eight years, Ye Lu shattered herself into pieces, fighting her way toward the clouds Chen Yanqi once spoke of. She never expected that when they met again, she would be looking down at him.

His wings were broken. He cast aside his pride and spiraled wildly into the mire, even willing to do anything to cage her like a bird.

Ye Lu always thought Chen Yanqi was the only one who had ever been the most passionate longing in her heart. She never imagined that to him, she too had once been the moon that kept him awake at night, a forbidden fantasy he tried to restrain.

But after all their twists and turns, they were never meant to walk the same path.

"Chen Yanqi, I've met someone who treasures me like a priceless jewel." Ye Lu raised her eyes to meet his. Her lips were cold, yet her gaze was captivating. "That person isn't you."

[We were like two elephants embracing against the current of an icy river. The moment we chose to draw close, we were destined to be buried here. Just as the ending had already been written at the very beginning of the story.]

Zhou Chun is blind and works as a piano tuner with an intense sensitivity to sound. Qian Ruoruo, a former beauty pageant champion, has two useless legs and is always complaining that she has to spend her life with a good-for-nothing.

Their little house is perpetually gloomy, devoid of life save for the restlessness of the night. Then one day, a director claiming to be making a renowned niche documentary seeks them out, doggedly swearing to make them famous overnight.

Later, the two of them are swindled out of everything they own.

On their messy bed, the man fumbles for the woman's slender waist. Her damp lashes quiver as she curls up and falls against his chest.

Facing each other, they suddenly kiss as passionately as if they were in a movie script.

[I saw butterflies in autumn, and in the depths of despair, I held tight to you as you lay dying.]

Notes:

1. The leads have physical disabilities.

2. HE, mutual salvation, they torment each other.

3. They meet on a blind date, then marry before falling in love.

Theme: I became a better person because of you.
