In the smoke from the barbecue restaurant, Chen Muyu, a former figure skating prodigy, was flipping burnt meat skewers. Three years ago, she was eliminated from the provincial team due to failure in growth. Now she is out of shape and can even stumble and fall in the most basic Axel jump. Until that rainy night, a man smelling of alcohol stared at the skate scar on her wrist and said, "Your sense of air suspension is a talent that only comes once in ten years."
Yu Ran, the youngest men's singles champion in the world championships in the history of figure skating, abstained from the Olympics due to a sudden mental disorder before the game, and was called an "ice deserter" by the media. He could complete an unparalleled quadruple jump in the late-night ice rink, but he could no longer stand the spotlight of official games.
When a frustrated coach encounters a problematic student, Yu Ran drags Chen Muyu back to the ice rink in an almost cruel way: "Either you fall fifty times today, or you get back on the gridiron." Chen Muyu discovered that this sharp-tongued man was always there when no one was around, and repeatedly paused the video of her game back then - next to the actions that were deducted by the referee, densely packed technical improvement plans were written.
From single skating to double events, their original "blade lift" technology caused controversy. Sports reporters mocked it as "circus acrobatics," and the former coach asserted that "two scraps can't win a championship." At the final scene, Chen Muyu heard the sound of Yu Ran's ligament rupturing when he completed the fatal throw, but saw him smiling and making a continue gesture. Under the spotlight, she skated the entire distance with her partner, who was unable to stand, using improvised footwork that she had never practiced before.
The ice blade cuts through the scars of the past and reflects the brightest light.
