Plot Overview

A woman, Meng Qiao, wanders the city during the Qixi Festival and is overwhelmed by memories of the first time she met Xu Ye. Their meeting is sparked by a reckless basketball thrown by Xu Ye and his friends—accidentally hitting her, causing bleeding, and leaving a scar. Years later, that same scar becomes a playful “weapon” during their arguments.

Their love is intense and physical: teasing kisses, bold dominance games (“forehead-to-forehead”), and constant closeness—until their relationship collapses.

After Meng Qiao learns she has end-stage chronic kidney failure and refuses dialysis, she sells everything and returns to her old hometown (Hai Thanh) to begin saying goodbye. Along the way, she revisits her earlier poverty with Xu Ye: they survive by working relentlessly, hiding injuries, exchanging small acts of kindness (like him buying beef when she’s starving), and turning hardship into intimacy. The story repeatedly contrasts their tenderness with how life forces them to “wear armor,” becoming two-faced to keep going.

Decades later, Meng Qiao receives word that her childhood friend Xu Qian has arranged a small banquet. Chu Du also appears—now a math lecturer. The reunion reveals the deeper tragedy: Xu Ye and Meng Qiao divorced “calmly and decisively,” yet old wounds continued to spread.

Meanwhile, her illness worsens. Instead of Xu Ye, she is cared for by Chu Du, who steps in with strict, meticulous devotion—protecting her dignity as if trying to keep her alive. When Meng Qiao spirals into despair and lashes out emotionally, Chu Du doesn’t abandon her. He pushes forward through cruelty, guilt, and effort, even caring for her new stray-dog companions. He helps her become an honorary president of an animal protection club, using her situation to motivate others.

The emotional center of the story ultimately detonates around a system of “love vs. responsibility vs. revenge.” Xu Ye’s caretaking appears connected to a kidney transplant gift that seems almost too perfect. Meng Qiao learns the donor is tied to Liang Xiaoyue’s circle—exposing that Xu Ye’s behavior may have been driven more by guilt, timing, and calculation than pure devotion.

Crucially, the climax isn’t purely a fight of Xu Ye vs. Chu Du. Instead, it becomes about the final cost of betrayal—how revenge corrodes everything.

Climax & Ending

After confessing responsibility through legal and financial moves, Xu Ye witnesses Meng Qiao survive through the transplant. But his internal collapse is already complete: for years, he lived in guilt and pride, and the final outcome isn’t redemption—it’s self-destruction. In the last sequence, Xu Ye makes a final “deal” involving Xue Zhenzhen, then chooses suicide with a dagger, framing it as repayment of debts within the cruel moral economy of his past.

His final thoughts return to the earliest kindness—Meng Qiao chasing him with a suitcase when he ran away—imagining a future where their love could have been “normal.”

In the closing resolution, Meng Qiao—now alive—reaches the end of her emotional countdown. She processes Xu Ye’s death, recalls how she tried to live through pain, and holds onto the idea that love is not only romance, but fate, faith, and lasting happiness for the living. The story ends with her belief that “Meng Qiao” is the greatest love, and her final wish: even in the years without him, the love she represents must keep going.
