最初真挚的爱恋已成灰
[zuì chū zhēn zhì de ài liàn yĭ chéng huī]
Meaning that 'Initial genuine love has turned into ashes'. It signifies a bitter feeling over first love ending painfully. Often used to depict past relationships where sincere feelings no longer persist. For those who had been truly devoted only find everything vanished in time, leaving emptiness and sadness instead of happiness.
