On the bus bound for Guangxi, the exhausted Ning Yunxi fell asleep on the shoulder of a stranger, Xiao Ran. A pack of facial tissues on her shoulders weaved the prologue of this tender encounter. No one expected that this unexpected encounter would become the starting point for the intertwining fate of the two people.
In the workplace, Ning Yunxi is a designer who is exhausted by the project, while Xiao Ran is a business upstart who lands as an investor. There were tit-for-tat confrontations at the negotiation table, heart-to-heart conversations in the cafe, and mutual comfort in the hospital corridor. They gradually got closer in the game of interests and emotional testing. However, competition for family inheritance, leakage of business secrets, and transnational criminal conspiracies followed one after another, drawing the two into the center of the whirlpool.
Xiao Ran's half-brother Xiao Lin returns to China to stir up trouble. Ning Yunxi's long-lost brother hides secrets. The arson massacre twenty years ago and the dusty past of the orphanage. Behind the layers of fog are the grievances and hatreds spanning two generations. On the way to pursue the truth, love encounters a crisis of trust, and ideals face the test of reality. They must not only fight against external undercurrents, but also face inner conflicts and struggles.
From the heartbeat when they first met, to perseverance in trouble, to working together to uncover a shocking conspiracy, Ning Yunxi and Xiao Ran wrote chapters about love, courage and redemption in the neon lights and shadows of the city. When all the mysteries are solved, can they protect this hard-won affection in the long river of time?
