That midsummer, fifteen-year-old Wei Lan met thirteen-year-old Shen Qing for the first time. An unexpected encounter finally brought two parallel lines to a point of intersection.
Have you ever loved someone like this in your life?
Loved them so deeply that they became part of you, impossible to let go.
After an accident landed Shen Qing's father in prison and upended her family, the young man took her in under the Wei family's name. She had become a love he couldn't control. She became his undoing.
Over the decades, the two weathered countless hardships, going from strangers who kept their distance to companions who understood and stood by each other, pledging themselves to spend their lives together.
Have you ever hated someone like this in your life? Hated him for turning away from you and giving you up, on some day, for some reason, for someone else, leaving you heartbroken?
Sometimes a lie is kinder than the truth.
They broke up over a "misunderstanding" and went their separate ways.
When they met again years later, love and hate were tangled between them. She already had a "family," while he was all alone. As the white lie came undone and the truth collided with reality, everything from the past came rushing back.
What will become of Shen Qing and Wei Lan?
