Fate Turns North

That summer, when they were seventeen, youth was like a winter jasmine flower: all freshness and no maturity. The innocent confusion of first love and a tender first romance were like a roller coaster, arriving fast and leaving just as quickly. There were all those beautiful memories, suffocating sorrows, and the curse of loving someone you could never have...

They met as toddlers just learning to talk and pushed each other around as they learned to walk. On the slow, clumsy road of growing up, Liu Luoyi's friendship was like a lifesaving remedy. As time flowed on, a group of lovely people came into their lives: Ye Lingxi, Nan Yan, Shu Yao, Lin Qingyan. They wanted them there for every important moment and shared every important thing with them. They had three fun desk mates, then met five new friends at the art studio. At university, Jian Xin entered Yuan Xiangbei's life. Back then, they were all innocent and knew nothing of social niceties. Their only goal was to study. Those four years were pure and earnest. Their friendship began when their names appeared on the same class assignment list. They met people on the same wavelength, soothed one another's youthful wounds, encouraged each other toward an uncertain future, and found healing, warmth, and affirmation. At any time, they could proudly introduce one another: "This is my good friend, the sunshine of my youth."

The names written in love letters were like mountains piled high. They say the odds of meeting your soulmate are one in six billion. Yuan Xiangbei was lucky enough to meet hers, and from then on she wanted to become the best version of herself. Love back then was passionate, full of sneaking around, and utterly reckless. She was willing to fight with her parents for him.

Starting at seventeen, they spent three years at school, four years in a long-distance relationship, and one year together before ending their eight-year romance. With her best friends by her side and love as her path, she went from school uniforms to a wedding dress. He would always be the boy she loved as a teenager...

Theme: Everyone has an emotional reserve, and every reserve holds its own stories. The first stirrings of love in high school, the romance of having nowhere to put your feelings, and the journey through the college entrance exams, university, work, and marriage teach you the value of a lifetime of loving one person, and of being loved by one person for a lifetime.
