Synopsis
Li Li and Pei Yongxuan meet each other when they are fourteen and she has a crush on him for the longest time. However, she does not confess due to her unattractive looks leading to her low self-esteem. And just like, days become months, and months become years. She stays beside him as his best friend for fifteen long years. During those years, various challenges scar them, rendering them feeling unworthy for each other. Pei Yongxuan was fearful of pursuing her, afraid of losing her if their romance doesn’t work out. When he finally realizes he loves her, it’s too late.
Their promise of love is being likened to a pair of migratory birds - wherever they go, they will eventually return to each other.
