The Determination to Never Look Back

share time: 2025-10-23 06:01:44

Lin Xiaoman waited three years for her ex-boyfriend’s “promise to return,” only to catch him with a new girl in the wedding dress shop she’d always dreamed of—on the same day she was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst that required removing one ovary. She burned all old mementos, quit the job she’d chosen for him, and moved to the coast to run a homestay, where she met Chen Ye, a 5-years-younger surfing instructor. Chen Ye always brought her fresh catch, saying, “Your soup works better than painkillers.” But just as she dared to hug him, her ex showed up with a diamond ring: “She’s just a fling—you’re the one I want to marry.” Meanwhile, in Chen Ye’s phone, there’s a note identical to her old “promise to return”—the one she’d written three years ago. Her “letting go” hides more tangled ties. This time, does she need the determination to “never look back,” or the courage to face her true heart?
