Yuan Miao and Shen Zhixing have been together since childhood, and they agreed to hunt for the Golden Swallowtail Butterfly when they were seven years old. After Yuan's father died of illness, ten-year-old Yuan Miao remarried and left without saying goodbye. Clutching the unsent female butterfly specimen, she witnessed Shen Zhixing waiting in a heavy rainy night until he fell ill. Since then, he has lost the ability to perceive emotions.
When they reunited after transferring to another school seven years later, the student council president Shen Zhixing used an umbrella as a bridge and opened Yuan Miao's closed world with the gentleness soaked in sandalwood. The faded specimens, the breakfast of clean shrimps, and the crescent scar on the back of the neck piece together the torn past. Yuan Miao found a pair of male butterfly specimens in a secret room in Shen Zhixing's study. The gold powder on the wing veins was as new as promised.
In the biology room on a rainy night, warm light outlines the silhouette of Shen Zhixing's restored specimen. When the two butterflies finally became Butterfly Lovers, Yuan Miao's frozen heartbeat revived with tears rolling down her face. When the cherry blossoms were flying, Shen Zhixing revealed the word "Miao" secretly engraved on the silver beads on his bracelet: "I picked up everything you lost." The wind blew past the young man's interlocked palms, and the shadow of the butterfly spreading its wings became the most vivid annotation of youth.
