"Once a word is said, it is hard to keep it back" - this is the most solemn promise Qin Ke and Chu Yan made when they were young. When the acceptance letter from the Vienna Conservatoire broke their peaceful lives, they made a promise: to be separated for three years and never let them down.
Qin Ke went to Europe with their musical dreams. He wore the black earrings given by Chu Yan in his left ear and engraved the countdown of "1095 days" on the keys. Chu Yan stayed at Xianning Central Hospital, with the same thorn pattern tattooed on his wrist, and an unsent letter every week filled with unspeakable longings.
When an important performance meets the return date, when life-saving surgery meets the reunion after a long absence, pride and misunderstanding make them walk in opposite directions on a rainy night. Until a car accident almost destroyed Qin Ke's playing career, until Chu Yan discovered that the girl in urgent need of surgery had a mysterious connection with Qin Ke...
"It's my turn to walk towards you this time." Chu Yan stood in the rain in Vienna with a resignation letter hidden under his white coat, "But there is an operation tomorrow -"
Qin Ke buried his trembling fingers in the other person's palm: "I'm waiting for you, just like waiting for a late chord."
When the piano keys meet the scalpel, when the musical dream collides with the benevolence of the doctor, the lovers will finally understand: the most touching promise is not to never separate, but that I will always allow you to run for something more important than love, and then return to each other with scars and glory...
