Bai Nianchen, who was born in a poor family, went against the storm of life and worked hard to get into the ideal university. He originally wanted to finish his four years of studies in a peaceful place on campus, but he didn't expect that the gears of fate would quietly turn and he met Gu Yuanyuan. The heartbeat at that moment was like a spark igniting a prairie fire. He was filled with admiration and mustered up the courage to approach fearlessly.
At first, the relationship between the two was sweet and beautiful, but soon the haze of reality came rolling in. What stands between the two is not only the identity boundary between teacher and student, like an invisible high wall; there is also a disparity in family background, like a bottomless gap; there are also worldly prejudices, like cold rain, constantly beating on this relationship. This relationship seems to be struggling hard among thorns, with blood dripping every step forward. The future is shrouded in darkness, and it seems that premature death is its destined fate.
But Bai Nianchen refused to admit defeat. He followed Gu Yuanyuan closely with the affection of a moth to a flame, even if he was stabbed all over his body. Just when everyone thought they would be crushed by reality, Gu Yuanyuan's heart slowly warmed up and he began to respond to this passionate feeling. The two of them joined hands and decided to break through the obstacles.
However, just when they were about to see the dawn of happiness, fate once again used its trump card. An old acquaintance of Gu Yuan Yuan suddenly appears, bringing with him some secrets that can subvert their lives, forcing Gu Yuan Yuan to make a painful choice. On the one hand, there is the hard-won relationship with Bai Nianchen, and on the other hand, there is the entanglement of responsibilities that cannot be escaped in the past. Bai Nianchen also fell into deep uneasiness and self-doubt. The love they once believed in was shaken by this sudden storm.
