Summary
After the sudden passing of her fiancé, Li Juan plasters on a face of bravery in front of her loved ones. Now one supreme truth reigns.. she will never be Mrs. Zhou Shuchun. That version of her future was forever left unrealized, completely doused by grief. Instead, she becomes tethered to a false reality that could only be possessed through feverish glimpses in the dead of night, to a waking dream where he still exists. In this reverie, clad in an ornate, bone-white silk gown, Li Juan watches the back of Shuchun’s silhouette as her heart clamours in her chest. The longing beats at her heart like a drum. And as she traipses down the aisle, her hands laid side by side in a meager attempt to conceal her excitement, blood rushes to her fingertips.
Her favorite part is coming up.
Shuchun turns to face her with his smile stretched wide across the room. His slender hand extends out, inviting her into his life, his world. Yet, it isn't long after this invitation that his effigy dissipates into smoke, leaving only hurt in its wake.
When Li Juan retires from this dreamscape, the flimsy bravado shatters, leaving only Fang Wanzhi's piercing gaze to see right through her.
