You Rejected My Confession, So Why Are You Crying Now That I'm Pursuing the Campus Belle?

"Su Yan, you've been like a shadow I can't shake for all these years, making all these arrangements without asking me. Have you ever asked what I want? Do you realize that because of you, my life is a complete mess? All those rumors and gossip started because of you!"

"Stop bringing up our childhood friendship. You think you're protecting me, but to me, it's a shackle! Please, stop clinging to me. I don't want you in my future!"

"Su Yan, you know he's the one I've always loved. Can't you be the bigger person and let go? Why do you have to keep ruining everything?"

As preparations begin for their graduation art exhibition, the girl next door, who has been by Su Yan's side for ten years, abandons him for her far-off artistic dream and the muse she idolizes.

His heart in ruins, Su Yan turns away for good and walks alone into the center of the exhibition. He lets his brush fly, and from that moment on, vows to strive only for his own artistic journey!

A revered figure in the industry comes in person to seek a collaboration, and Su Yan ushers in a new era in the art world!

His childhood sweetheart grows frantic.

"Su Yan, I was so stupid. Can't you be like before and let us be friends again?"

Su Yan: "Affection that's past its expiration date isn't worth a penny."
