At 42, Lü Xiaoyan is an internationally renowned structural biologist, hailed as the “Queen of Structural Biology.” Rational and focused, she has built her life around the lab, academic papers, and conferences. Her previous marriage ended amicably because both partners were too busy with their careers. Despite her stellar achievements, her private life is almost uneventful. Her only real passions are music and the occasional concert.
Lu Yijing, 36, is a top-tier star who clawed his way up from the bottom. He endured poverty and hardship before making it to the top through music and acting. Yet success has never made him feel secure. He lives with the constant anxiety that he could lose everything at any moment. He's used to pleasing the world, but rarely lives for himself.
When Lu Yijing takes on the role of a university professor, he visits the university where Lü Xiaoyan works to immerse himself in the part. Their worlds have nothing in common, but one chance conversation sets their lives on intersecting paths.
She is his salvation. She sees through his unease and gradually breaks down his defenses with a scientist's clear-eyed reason and kindness.
He brings color into her life. He leads her out of the monotony of the lab and helps her feel the warmth and freedom of life again.
This is a collision between reason and emotion, and a love story about coming to terms with oneself and growing together.
