When Xie Yifeng accidentally knocks the red wine out of Ji Lanzhou’s hand at the company’s annual party, he has no idea that the dark red drop sliding down his shirt will become a mark of fate, quietly rewriting their lives.
Xie Yifeng is sunshine brought into the real world, reckless but sincere. Ji Lanzhou is an iceberg in human form, cold on the outside, with a tenderness he doesn’t know how to express. From their initial clashes and mutual dislike to being forced to work together on project after project, misunderstandings and understanding intertwine like twisting vines in their chaotic everyday lives. Xie Yifeng gradually melts the wall around Ji Lanzhou’s heart with his warmth, while Ji Lanzhou responds to that sudden kindness with silent devotion.
But the workplace is full of undercurrents. Wang Qiang’s jealousy lurks like a poisonous snake, Zhang Ze’s teasing hides a sincere friendship, and Li Na’s curiosity unwittingly nudges their relationship forward. Ji’s father’s traditional views are an even higher wall, keeping the two men’s relationship outside the family. Xie Yifeng must learn to think calmly, while Ji Lanzhou must learn to express himself bravely. They struggle through hardship and grow through every turning point, paying a price along the way: shattered trust, fractured identities, and the choice between love and responsibility.
When love becomes an adventure and prejudice turns the road into a thorny path, how should people choose? Give in to the rules of the world, or stay true to the stirrings of their hearts?
