After both her parents died, Liu Rao went to the bridge. She gazed at the rushing river, listened to the cicadas chirping in the trees, and climbed over the railing.
“Since the people who loved me have abandoned me, and the person I love has never loved me, this world has no meaning for me anymore.”
“I’m grateful that this world once let that ray of light into my life, but that was in the past. Now it’s gone out.”
“Goodbye. Let’s meet again in our next lives!”
With that, she jumped into the river without hesitation.
That brilliant rose withered in the height of summer.
Liu Rao never knew, even as she died, that the two of them loved each other.
The saying was right: “Even lovers may never end up together.”
Two mutually lovestruck prodigies: Liu Rao x Shu Huai
The female lead's name comes from Wen Tingyun's poem
