The story
What it's about
As teenagers, the cheerful and fearless Fang and the withdrawn Qingshui fall deeply in love, but insecurity, trauma, and social pressures lead to a painful separation. Five years later, fate brings them together again, rekindling unresolved feelings as they struggle through misunderstandings and the shadows of their past. When a shocking accident reveals the hidden truth behind their breakup, the two women are forced to confront their fears, challenge society's prejudices, and decide if love deserves a second chance.
