"Zheng Wan, we were so happy once. Can't you give us another chance?"
"I don't believe you can go back to the past, and I don't believe in getting back together after a breakup. I'm not the one who denied us a chance." When I love you most, I can run to you without hesitation. When your heart is full of love, I can hold you close. But if we couldn't be together when we loved each other most, then let's part ways here.
"But what if that wasn't when we loved each other most?"
"I've never been afraid to wait, nor have I ever feared being disappointed. What I fear is that what I cherish is nothing but an illusion woven by my own emotions, that the other person's true character is so appalling, or that I got it wrong from the very beginning by holding on to the wrong thing."
"Wanwan, would you be willing to believe once more that someone in this world would protect you, even if it meant becoming utterly loathsome in your eyes?"
I can wait for you until you finally see me. I can bear false accusations for your sake, and keep testing my own limits, time and again.
But you know that someone who truly loves you wouldn't fail to see you, wouldn't saddle you with false accusations, and couldn't bear to watch you push yourself past your limits.
I hope everything I pursue without hesitation belongs to my misunderstood heroism, to the courage to press forward when no one sees me.
But I know you're watching. He's watching. All of you are watching. Some watch the spectacle, some take pleasure in it, and some step forward to help someone up, as if they were lifting themselves.
This is the story of a clear-headed, rational idealist who is left battered by romance, then refuses to give up on improving and healing herself. She remains brave and romantic, but grows braver still in making her own choices.
It is an idealist acknowledging reality, and an idealist who has never compromised.
In plain terms:
After being deeply hurt by the person she was about to marry and loved so dearly, she heals herself and plans to move on, only to find herself caught in a dramatic campaign to win her back. At the same time, a truly wonderful person pursues her. She makes her own choice, and, more importantly, never loses herself in love, choosing instead to shape her own life.
I'm a newcomer, so please be kind. Suggestions are welcome. Let's grow together!
Theme: The pursuit of strength is, at its core, a pursuit of freedom. What leaves me scarred will ultimately make me stronger.
