[A seemingly gentle and reserved gentleman who is actually an obsessive, deranged, handsome physicist x a wealthy, beautiful illustration student who seems obedient but never forgives an offense]
Mutual pining / redemption / missed chances / dual endings
He Shuyun committed suicide.
He died on the very day he testified in court.
Luo Yi runs into his long-lost first love of eight years at a murder mystery game, and memories from years ago begin to stir.
As they spend time together, he discovers that their middle school teacher, whom they shared, was the one responsible for his friend He Shuyun's illness and suicide.
Luo Yi's motives for approaching Cheng Qi become less than pure.
For the truth, and for evidence.
"When you were doing all this, did you think of me for even a minute?"
"No."
After He Shuyun's sudden death, Luo Yi can't find a witness willing to testify against the person responsible.
By chance, Luo Yi discovers that Cheng Qi has a video from ten years ago.
"Will you give me the video?"
"That was our teacher... Don't force me."
The two get into an argument.
"I don't need someone to love me out of guilt."
"How dare you make light of my love for you?"
"After graduation, I waited for you for four years, Luo Yi."
"Even the successful you today can't compare to the sixteen-year-old Cheng Qi in my dreams."
Six years after graduation, I once booked a flight in the middle of the night, spent twenty hours in transit, then waited for you on the Princeton campus for ten days, all just to see you once.
After that, I let go.
At least, I thought I had.
In the second year after we met, I tried to let go of everything and rely on you. What I got in return was two years of silence.
Two and a half years later, you forced me into marriage, using the safety of the people around me as leverage.
"I won't accept a marriage without a name. Be prepared."
I ran away to another country to avoid you. While attending Fashion Week, I thought about escaping, but you saw right through me.
"You've been away for six months, and you're getting ideas again, aren't you?"
One-sided redemption, mutual pining
Theme: Never take life or love lightly.
