Synopsis
The text follows my heart, and it happens to be your pleasure. I am glad to meet you. An accident caused Chen Xinyi to lose her memory. When she woke up from the hospital bed, the world became strange and broken - she couldn't remember her family, why she came to this city alone, and she couldn't even remember whether the boy named Mark beside her was her lover or just a passerby. The only thing that can piece the past together are two things: a diary left by Mark, and a manuscript of a novel that she wrote in her own hand but has no memory of. Chen Xinyi did not choose to trust anyone directly. She decided to act like a detective and reason about her life backwards through those words. The diary records sweet quarrels and shared ideals, and also vaguely reveals her confusion and struggle; while the novel manuscript is like an encrypted inner monologue, hiding her fears and desires that she has never spoken to anyone. As the pieces of the puzzle fell into place, Chen Xinyi discovered that the truth was far more complicated than she had imagined. She had been desperate in this relationship, and she had wanted to escape because of the disillusionment of her innocence; she had been full of longing for the future, and she had also chosen to remain silent under the oppression of reality. And when she finally pieced together the last corner of the story, what awaited her was not a fairy tale perfection, but a trial about the past - she must face the self who had made the choice and bear all the consequences of her decision. In the end, Chen Xinyi flew to Denmark alone to find the person who might still be waiting for her, or who might have left long ago. But she knew in her heart that the meaning of this journey was never to save a love. What she wanted to say to Mark in person was not "I love you", but "Thank you for letting me see who I am." Because she finally understood: the real destination is never someone's arms, but the other side of herself. Story summary Chen Xinyi used four relationships to spell herself out. Yan Junze was Chen Xinyi's first love at the age of seventeen. He was handsome and drunk, exuding the aura of youthful sunshine. They met on campus. Youth is a firework ignited by passion, gorgeous but short-lived. So in the wind and rain of reality, it will be blown away. After the breakup, Chen Xinyi understood that some innocence can only be cherished. After graduation, Chen Xinyi pursued her inner voice and found a job in a television station. She met Song Qingfeng, who gave her a world leading to the future, but she could not exchange for their future with her lifelong promise. When the heavy snow in the sky covered up her sadness, she knew that not all open spaces lead to belonging. Zheng Shan is a reality and her wishful thinking to compromise with reality. She thought that handing over the past can bring stability, but he said: "Your past is a thorn in my heart. He used her past to deny their future. She understood that she had nowhere to retreat but to start over. She wanted to find the answer in the unknown. From girl to woman, three loves, three denials. She hit rock bottom. Chen Xinyi doesn't understand why brave pursuit of love always ends up with bruises all over her body? When she wanted to exile herself and forget the pain, she met Mark. Mark was transparent - he didn't give her any labels, he just took her to see the sunrise and the great migration of animals, and asked her when she doubted herself: "Why are you always waiting for others to give you the answer? " After experiencing the baptism of war, Chen Xinyi realized the insignificance of pain and the preciousness of life. She finally understood: the meaning of a transparent puzzle is to let her see that the missing piece has always been herself. She didn't know if she would see him again in the future, but she firmly followed her inner wish and took every step steadily. In the end, Chen Xinyi became the light that illuminated her and his lives. Intention: The ultimate form of love is not to find a destination, but to live oneself as the other side.
