**"The flowers bloom sometimes, but the flowers never fade. In the deepest despair, you meet the most beautiful love."**
Xu Yan and Ji Yao, two lonely souls who were mistreated by fate, met under the accidental arrangement of the Northwest Tour Group.
**Xu Yan** was born into a wealthy family, but lost her mother when she was young. Her father remarried and her stepmother treated her harshly. She suffered from neglect and hunger. She was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer when she was twenty years old. He traveled alone with the inheritance left by his mother, hoping to take a look at the northwest scenery he longed for at the end of his life.
**Jiyao** grew up in an eccentric family. The neglect of her parents and the alienation from her friends made her gradually close herself. At the age of nineteen, she decided to travel alone, trying to find relief in an unfamiliar landscape.
Under the starry sky of Dunhuang, they discovered that they were old acquaintances twelve years ago - he was the melancholy boy who gave her a flower under the tea flower, and she was the bright girl who gave him a candy. Fate made them meet again. During the short journey, the two cold hearts gradually got closer and warmed each other.
However, happiness is short-lived. Xu Yan's condition deteriorated rapidly. In his last days, he revealed the truth that his father and stepmother had killed his mother, and left all his inheritance to Ji Yao. They met when the tea flowers bloomed; when the flowers faded, they said goodbye forever.
After Xu Yan passed away, Ji Yao could not bear the pain of losing her beloved and finally chose to go with him. Their love is like a tea flower - gorgeous and short-lived, but it becomes the most eternal spring in each other's lives.
**"If death is the end, then I am willing to arrive early, just to wait for you in another life."**
