"The Stars Don't Come to Appointments" tells the story of a sadomasochistic relationship that started in school but failed in reality. Su Muqing, an ordinary art student, has been secretly in love with campus figure Zhou Yuchen for three years, recording every dazzling moment of his with a brush. When Zhou Yuchen was finally moved by her persistence and took the initiative to approach, the two fell into a bitter love with a disparity in status.
Zhou Yuchen appears to be a perfect senior, but inside he is deeply torn between his family's expectations and his own will. Su Muqing's purity made him feel real heartbeat for the first time, but he chose to compromise when his parents threatened to cut off financial support. Five years later, when Zhou Yuchen, who had become a business elite, accidentally saw Su Muqing's painting exhibition titled "The Stars Don't Keep the Appointment", he found that all the works were related to him, but the last painting "Rebirth" announced that she had completely given up.
Zhou Yuchen launched a frantic recovery operation, but he didn't know that Lin Mo, the art teacher who had warmed her for many years, had appeared beside Su Muqing - a mature man who was intelligent, gentle and firm. When Zhou Yuchen made a big fuss at the engagement scene, Su Muqing's calm refusal made him understand: some damage cannot be repaired, and some people will be missed for a lifetime.
