Plot Synopsis of Twelve Letters

Across twelve letters spanning thirty-five years, their connection endures as they search for truth and hope, weaving together love, longing, sacrifice, and the challenges of fate.

The Story That Moves Hearts

Haitang’s story truly hits hard. Imagine thinking the person who should protect you is actually the one who ruins you the most. Her father looked kind in front of others, but behind closed doors, he was a gambler drowning in debts, even stealing the money Haitang worked so hard to earn. At her lowest point, Haitang even wanted to end it all.

But then Tang Yixun stopped her. He reminded her that life is worth more than pain. Why throw away your future for someone who doesn’t value you? This moment highlights the drama’s emotional strength, sometimes we all need someone to remind us that our life is worth more than the wounds caused by others.

Living on, studying, and building your own life, that’s the best revenge.

Tang Yixun and Ye Haitang: A Sacrifice

They say time heals all wounds, but for some people, time only deepens them. The story of Tang Yixun and Ye Haitang is one where love and sacrifice are so entwined that even separation and death cannot sever their bond.

One night changed everything. When danger struck, Yixun accidentally killed the man who threatened them both. Instead of letting Haitang carry that burden, he took the blame. He cut ties with her, even letting her believe he had died in prison, so she could live free from shadows.

But Haitang never forgot him. Every year on his birthday, she visited his grave with flowers and cake, even preparing her own tombstone beside his, so their promise of “forever together” could still come true in another way.

What makes it even sadder is that Yixun was alive, quietly watching her from afar. He wanted her to move on, but both of them kept suffering in silence.This is what makes Twelve Letters so powerful, it shows that real love is not just about happiness, but sacrifice.
