A rescue in a bar led to an unexpected acquaintance between Chi Yingtong, who was struggling at the bottom, and He Yongshang, who was trapped in a suffocating marriage.
From the initial tit-for-tat to the gradual understanding, they became the light in each other's gloomy lives - she taught him to get rid of cowardice, and he made her see the equality of emotions.
But when feelings beyond friendship quietly grow, the shackles of reality and the pull of the heart make the two drift apart.
Those complex emotions that cannot be explained finally condense into a painful and warm redemption at the end of life.
"People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is a difficult thing in ancient times."
——[Song Dynasty] Su Shi's "Shui Tiao Ge Tou: When will the bright moon come"
