I'm yet to watch the drama but I hope this answers your question

Over the years, it wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about forgetting Zhou Wan. He had tried to continue living as carefreely as before, but Zhou Wan had soaked into his heart like a torrential downpour, leaving no room for anyone else to linger.
For a long time, he even believed he no longer loved her—he thought it was hatred that made her unforgettable.
Until Zhou Wan reappeared before him.
Only then did he realize he had never stopped loving her, not for a single moment.
Lu Xixiao had once asked himself why Zhou Wan was different to him.
He was never short of beautiful girls around him, nor those willing to treat him well.
But Zhou Wan possessed a unique resilience.
She was innocent but not naive, shadowed yet pure—every facet of her was vivid and sharp, like a faint but enduring flame illuminating his gaze.
He knew her flaws, her extremes, her cowardice.
But he also understood her goodness, her sincerity, her solitary courage.
Before leaving, she said nothing, yet did everything.
She tended the garden, planting many hardy, long-blooming flowers, hoping they would accompany him through the lonely, desolate future.
Later, after the rainy season ended, those flowers revived, blooming year after year, blossoming endlessly.
She took him to the "City Eye" of Pingchuan City, teaching him how to overcome his fear of heights.
It was she who said, Don’t look down—look ahead. There are mountains in front, clouds above, and wind in the distance.
It was she who said, Lu Xixiao, from now on, always look forward and aim high.
Long ago, she had already bid him farewell in the gentlest, most resolute way.
And it was these words that sustained Lu Xixiao through all those years in a foreign land.
Look forward. Aim high.
Zhou Wan had long since seeped into his being, becoming a part of him—bone and blood, inseparable.
