In a bustling, vibrant city, the threads of fate quietly intertwine, and a gripping story begins.
Lin Yue, carrying her dreams and hopes, makes her way to the city from afar with a suitcase her father had cobbled together from leftover aluminum alloy scraps. The cramped rental room in the suburbs holds countless hopes and disappointments. One email after another bearing the words “We regret to inform you” pours cold water on her enthusiasm for finding work.
Lu Jingchen is at the heart of his family business's power structure, but after refusing to attend his engagement banquet, he gets caught up in the turmoil of a family feud, with his second uncle's cutting mockery ringing in his ears. The ever-changing tides of the business world keep him constantly on his guard.
An accident on a street at dusk changes the course of both their lives. When Lin Yue sees a little boy in a blue striped shirt in the park's central plaza, she rushes into the middle of the road to save him, heedless of the danger, and gets injured. The boy, it turns out, has countless connections to Lu Jingchen's business rival. At the hospital, Lu Jingchen sees a convenience-store receipt in Lin Yue's pocket for “discount eggs,” and feels an unfamiliar stir in his heart. Under the effects of painkillers, Lin Yue drifts in and out of consciousness, unaware that she has been drawn into a complicated business struggle.
As rain pours down, Lu Jingchen's Rolls-Royce takes Lin Yue back to her apartment building. When he hands her a schedule for changing her dressing, his fingertip inadvertently brushes the callus at the base of her thumb, a mark left by life's hardships. Meanwhile, in the shadows, a man in a baseball cap lingers for 119 seconds in front of Lin Yue's mailbox in the surveillance footage. A secret lies behind it all, shrouding them in mist.
From a rental room in the suburbs to the center of the business world's storms, Lin Yue and Lu Jingchen's fates become tightly entwined. How will they...
