The Third Year Since My Lady Left

share time: 2026-01-26 06:02:03

Three years after his wife Shen Tang's death, Gu Yanzhi still clings to their shared routines—warm milk by the bed each morning, weekly osmanthus cakes, the unfinished cashmere scarf—as if she never left. On the third death anniversary, he finds a line in Shen Tang's diary: “Go see the old locust tree at the alley.” When he arrives, he meets a girl who looks exactly like Shen Tang, holding a box Shen Tang buried years ago. Inside are two unfulfilled wedding dress orders and a note: “I knew you'd forget our fifth anniversary, so I buried this. When you remember, wear the wedding dress for me.” It turns out Shen Tang knew about her illness early and hid her wish to take wedding photos; the girl is an orphan she sponsored, sent to help him let go of his longing.
