I Journey West Alone

They are lovers consumed by passion, their love fierce and tumultuous, each both loving and wounding the other. They defy social conventions and turn their backs on everyone just to be together. But life is nothing like romance: they can weather storms, but not the ordinary grind of daily life. Their feelings gradually fade amid bills, meals, and a debt crisis. He grows colder, while she leaves the home she worked so hard to build, carrying her resentment with her. They part ways, each going their own way. Fate twists and turns, and when they meet again, the person before them is no longer the person they once knew. They gaze at each other, still unable to let go. They have known the softest corners of each other’s hearts and witnessed each other at their lowest. They met in a vast world and embraced with all their hearts; they once swore eternal love, only for it to end without explanation. There may be no one destined to be together, yet some hearts can never find a place to rest. Now that time and their roles have changed, where will they go from here?
