Wei Zhi, a single-parent girl with mental illness, entered Huai'an Middle School like a butterfly trapped in a cocoon. Her mother's high-pressure control followed her until that snowy morning when young boy Zhou Zhunyuan broke into her world with the refreshing smell of mint. The ginkgo leaf bracelet on her wrist was like a key, quietly opening her closed world.
The tacit understanding of sharing color palettes in the studio, the sweetness of sharing orange hard candies on the rooftop, the clumsy smiles on the sketch paper, the warm milk... Zhou Zhunyuan used tiny pieces of warmth to fill her sketchbook with traces of heartbeat. Those attachments that she dared not express were carefully sealed among the drawing papers, becoming the most dazzling light in her gloomy life.
However, her mother's paranoia was like a heavy rain, tearing up the drawings and forcibly cutting off contact; the pressure of the college entrance examination was like a shackle, making her miss the last wait of her youth. Many years later, Wei Zhi, who had become a well-known illustrator, reunited with Zhou Zhunyuan, who had become a painter, at an art exhibition. The faded ginkgo leaf bookmark, the orange candy wrapper that has lost its fragrance, and the creased sketchbook silently tell the story of a fate that ended in vain.
When familiar old songs flow in the exhibition hall, dusty past events surge forward. How many unknown secrets are hidden in those unsent letters hidden in glass candy wrappers? And at the end of time, can they who missed it regain the thrill of being crushed by reality?
Concept: "Unsent Letter" takes adolescent secret love as a clue. The core concept focuses on the profound impact of the original family on individual emotions and growth, as well as the helplessness and preciousness of pure emotions in boyhood under real difficulties. Through the encounter and miss between Wei Zhi and Zhou Zhunyuan, the story shows how a girl who is bound by the shadow of her original family can gain redemption in the short-term warmth and be forced to separate due to the pressure of reality. Even if it fails to be perfect in the end, those moments that illuminate each other still prove that regret itself is also a footnote to growth, and the pure emotions that have been experienced in life will turn into eternal power to support people towards the future.
