When Song Chi was sixteen, her mother died in a car accident. She blamed her father for everything.
From that day on, the cheerful, sunny Song Chi seemed to become someone else. She grew quiet and withdrawn, unwilling to communicate with others.
By chance, Song Chi met Zhuang Yan. With his guidance, she gradually opened up, and through her own hard work, her grades improved by leaps and bounds.
From that moment on, their story began.
Song Chi fell for the clean-cut, handsome young man Zhuang Yan at first sight. But at the time, she kept her feelings hidden in her heart, never daring to say them aloud.
During the second semester of her final year of high school, just as Song Chi was about to look for Zhuang Yan, he vanished without a trace. No one knew where he had gone.
But Song Chi didn't let that get her down. Instead, she worked even harder, hoping that one day she would see him again.

They met again on the day Zhuang Yan quietly returned to the country.
Song Chi could barely hide how excited she was to see him again, but she also resented him for disappearing without a word for all those years.
Song Chi became an intern at the hospital where he worked.
On the night of her welcome celebration, her coworkers saw how close they were and asked, "Are you and Dr. Zhuang Yan close?"
Song Chi felt flustered and said timidly, "We're not that close. He's my best friend's uncle."
That night, Zhuang Yan walked Song Chi to her apartment building, grabbed her, and pinned her against the wall.
"We're not close?" His low voice rang in her ear. He spoke lightly, without a hint of emotion.
"..."
"In high school, I helped you with your homework and walked you home. When those thugs outside school cornered you, I took a hit for you. A few months ago, you stayed at my place and I took care of you. And we're not that close?"
"..."
Zhuang Yan held her chin and softly whispered in her ear, "Little girl, you've grown up. Now you don't even recognize your boyfriend?"
Song Chi: "..."
Premise: Of all things in this world, love alone never dies.
