Meeting in Late Autumn

Her little sister dies young, her parents pass away, and young Yi Sheng is left an orphan.

The orphan takes in a beggar child named Zhong Yu.

From then on, the beggar becomes family, someone she would give her life to protect.

So what if they aren't blood-related? As long as Yi Sheng is happy, that's all that matters.

After years of relying on each other, Zhong Yu's family comes looking for him.

Yi Sheng thinks sunny days lie ahead, but with one remark about what's best for Zhong Yu from the old lady of the Zhong family, she is alone once again.

Taking care of Zhong Yu has become Yi Sheng's instinct, and she can't stop worrying about him even after they part.

That unease lasts until Zhong Yu comes looking for her.

They go from no contact, to occasional messages, to secret meetings.

Their hidden feelings grow stronger by the day.

The Zhong family eventually finds out. As before, the old lady Zhong wears a kind face but has a cold heart.

One is sent abroad, while the other wanders from place to place.

All that remains is their longing for each other.

Three years later, they meet again. The Zhong family personally asks Yi Sheng to come back, and the place is a hospital.

For the first time, Yi Sheng loses control and goes mad.
