The rainy season in the old district always seems to drag on. Jian Yao’s life was like the pot of mint on her windowsill, unremarkable but gently fragrant, until her neighbor Yan Hexing came along and disrupted the peace.
She is a gallery curator devoted to exhibition design, accustomed to tracing the threads of art through color and light. He is a meticulous, rational lawyer, skilled at finding the boundaries of justice among laws and evidence. They were two parallel lines, until a hair dryer suddenly broke, he invited her to share his route on a rainy day, and they unexpectedly crossed paths at an art exhibition. Slowly, their lives began to intersect.
From polite greetings between neighbors to late-night conversations about life; from occasional help at work to feelings quietly taking root in their hearts. They see the best in each other despite their differences, and draw closer to one another’s worlds as they tentatively test the waters. When reason meets emotion, and restraint clashes with passion, can the spark that began in the rainy season ripen into the gentlest answer with time?
