Please Allow Me to Grow Old

Yu Chen, who was terminally ill and had only two years left to live, chose to break up cruelly with "inappropriate" lies in order not to drag down his beloved Lin Yao. After Lin Yao accidentally learns the truth, she finds Yu Chen in despair and heartache, but he escapes due to guilt. Yu Chen suffered from the hangover and memories of his friend Chen Linjia, and finally decided to face Lin Yao. However, his physical decline caused him to collapse suddenly before going to the appointment. In the hospital, Yu Chen woke up and faced Lin Yao's questioning and affection. He was filled with guilt and powerlessness, eager to get close but afraid of being dragged down. Yu Chen's parents felt sorry for their son and were grateful for Lin Yao's persistence and acquiesced in her company. In the last moments, Lin Yao guarded Yu Chen with love and determination. In the ward, the two relived the past, looked forward to the future, and also quarreled and compromised. Their love is like splendid and short-lived fireworks in the night sky. They know that they will eventually extinguish, but they still try their best to bloom. The story revolves around love, sacrifice, guilt and companionship, depicting a sad love song that still shines with the warmth of humanity despite the tricks of fate.
