Features: The male protagonist, He Lei, and the female protagonist, Shi Jing, are a pair of youthful and vibrant lovers. They are meticulously decorating their new home in preparation for marriage when misfortune strikes—He Lei contracts a disease called "Myasthenia Gravis." The problem he faces is not whether to marry or not, but life or death. Enduring immense inner pain, He Lei decides to hide his illness from Shi Jing and does everything in his power to make her leave him. From then on, the story unfolds in a heart-wrenching atmosphere, heading toward a tragic conclusion. The most poignant part of the story is the process of He Lei and Shi Jing breaking up. Every word, every gesture, and even every object related to them is filled with indescribable pain, including the wedding dress, coaster, sofa back decoration, and the cups filled with intensely intimate wine. This sense of pain permeates every line of text written after He Lei falls ill. Until the very end, when Shi Jing learns the truth, when she and her new husband walk toward He Lei's bedside, He Lei lacks the strength even to smile, only tears streaming from his eyes, dropping onto the beautiful hand reaching toward him. Who could not be moved by "Never to Love Again"!
