Ling Yao/Sheng Huainan vs Su Yan
Nine years ago, Ling Yao fell into the abyss to save Su Yan, leaving no trace of his body. What was left to Su Yan was endless pain and a future that could never be fulfilled.
Nine years later, Su Yan is already a rising star in the financial world, but he is still trapped in the past, relying on letters written to the deceased boy to express his thoughts. Until the appearance of Sheng Huainan, the representative of Shengshi Group - a Chinese-American elite who has surprisingly similar habits to Ling Yao but has a completely different life.
He is a calm and self-possessed business tycoon with dazzling confidence, but he pursues Su Yan that cannot be refused. He was a stranger to Sheng Huainan, but he always inadvertently knocked on Su Yan's locked heart step by step with the shadow of his old friend.
To be close is betrayal, to stay away is to be unwilling. Su Yan was addicted to the lost and recovered sense of familiarity, and hated herself for treating him as a substitute. But Sheng Huainan was confused by his inexplicable throbbing and the blank past.
When the similarity is no longer a coincidence, when gaze becomes a confirmation that penetrates the soul, an entanglement about love and memory, substitute and ontology slowly unfolds. Can they follow the glimmer of light in their hearts, find the lost treasure, heal each other's hidden wounds, and truly move towards a bright future that belongs to them?
This is a story that spans life, death and forgetfulness, about trauma and healing, affection and love.
