WHEN WE MEET AGAIN , DON'T LOOK BACK

At just five years old, Shao Jinmai fled into the woods with nothing but her mother's hand in hers-and blood on both their pasts. After a violent incident shatters their home, Jinmai is separated from her mother and found unconscious by a lake. Taken in by a kind-hearted old woman, she grows up hiding from the past that stole her childhood.

Thirteen years later, Jinmai is a seemingly ordinary high school student with a loyal best friend, a morning dumpling ritual, and a mischievous habit of stealing guavas on the way to school. But everything changes when she and her friend are caught trespassing on the estate of a mysterious rich boy-and find themselves drawn into a world of secrets, privilege, and connections that hit dangerously close to home.

As Jinmai's old memories resurface and new truths begin to unravel, she's forced to confront the one question she's always feared: what really happened to her mother that night in the forest?

Don't Look Back is a coming-of-age mystery that blends heartbreak, friendship, healing, and suspense in a story about the courage to face the truth-even when it hurts.
