Tan Qingyin defied her family's objections and insisted on going to the remote county of Li.
Li County was beautiful, and it was in this lovely place that Tan Qingyin became entangled with Yang Jin, the man she would never forget for the rest of her life.
Yang Jin had a face capable of making any woman fall for him. He had countless girlfriends and was a born playboy.
Amid Li County's local customs and scenery, the two gradually grew closer. They walked together through ancient streets and alleys, watched the stars at night, and experienced life's ups and downs together. Through countless days and nights, their feelings slowly deepened, and a haze of ambiguity hung in the air between them.
But happiness never lasts.
Yang Jin: "Do I like her? Can I dote on her, love her, marry her?" Yang Jin laughed and shook his head.
After hearing that, Tan Qingyin no longer believed Yang Jin would turn back for her. She chose to leave, leaving the memory-filled county of Li and the man who had once made her heart flutter.
They met in Li County, and parted in Li County.
As they parted, Tan Qingyin smiled with acceptance. "I knew from the beginning you weren't right for me, but I still fell too deep."
"I loved you sincerely, and my decision to leave was carefully considered."
After hearing this, Yang Jin silently let go of her hand.
Yang Jin knew he could never hold on to her again.
Years later, when Tan Qingyin was interviewed, she said with a sense of peace, "Love and marriage aren't all there is to life. We shouldn't let outside things hold us back. Follow your own path. The future is bright. Don't look back. Keep going. Goodbye."
