Summer in Jiangcheng is humid and warm. Su Wan, a newly graduated illustrator, dragged her suitcase into this unfamiliar city, rented a small house in the old Yunqi Community, and began her journey to pursue her dreams. By chance, she heard a piece of melancholy piano music in a pavilion at the end of the alley, and met the man sitting under the lamp, with a halo surrounding him - Lu Chengyu.
They are next-door neighbors, but they seem to live in two different worlds. She painted the beauty of life with her brushes, and he used melodies to tell the stories hidden in his heart; she rushed to the studio in the morning light, and he created alone on the balcony late at night. Inadvertent encounters again and again, from the initial awkward temptation, to the silent gaze across the balcony, to the subtle resonance caused by art, the two lonely souls gradually approached each other in the bustling city.
When Su Wan encountered setbacks at work, it was Lu Chengyu's music that gave her silent comfort; Lu Chengyu was trapped in the shadows of the past, and it was the warmth in Su Wan's paintings that gave him a glimmer of light. They shared hot soup late at night and spent rainy nights together; they witnessed each other's embarrassment and appreciated each other's persistence.
When the color of the illustration meets the ups and downs of the melody, and when the gentle persistence breaks through the cold disguise, they discover that in this huge city, the warmest support is not the lights in the distance, but the person around you who understands you, protects you, and is willing to accompany you to fight the world.
This is a story about dreams and growth, as well as a journey of healing and love. After all, no matter how clear the sky is, no matter how bright the stars are, they are not as bright as the light in your eyes, illuminating my way forward.
