One Step Away (一步之遥)
Some stories are told in silence.
Li Yuhan and Zhao Lian meet under the soft hush of a spring rain—two strangers drawn together by timing, shared glances, and everything left unsaid. At university, their lives quietly intertwine: late-night study sessions, chance meetings under falling blossoms, and a closeness that always stops just short of becoming something more.
Neither of them speaks the words lingering in their hearts.
Neither dares to take that final step.
Years pass. Life changes. But some feelings never leave.
A tender, slow-burning tale of love that almost was, One Step Away explores the ache of what-ifs, the beauty of restraint, and the kind of connection that remains — even in silence.
