Su Wan once thought love meant keeping life as warm as a bowl of congee: making red date and millet congee for Lu Chengze each morning, waiting up with hot milk when he worked late, and even carefully drawing the cafe where they first met on a handmade anniversary card. She stood by him through his father's critical illness and the company's cash crisis, treating "he's under a lot of pressure" as the answer to every hurt.
But her "understanding" was eventually crushed by Lin Weiwei's schemes and Lu Chengze's neglect. When her mother needed an appendectomy, he missed the consent form to tend to Lin Weiwei's "acute gastroenteritis." When her mother was diagnosed with stomach cancer and she asked to borrow money for the operation, he believed the lies and accused her of "using your mother as an excuse." And when she was falsely accused of leaking a design, he publicly condemned her without even hearing her side.
The day her heart died, Su Wan moved out of their shared home and blocked every means of contact. She worked odd jobs by day to scrape together medical bills and stayed up revising designs at night. Starting as an intern at Gu Yu's studio, she won the newcomer award with her "family" designs, and finally became her own source of light.
Only after Lu Chengze exposed Lin Weiwei's fraud did he realize what he had lost. He set aside his CEO airs and waited for Su Wan in the rain outside her studio, quietly helped her resolve a client's unpaid bill, booked an appointment with a specialist for her mother, and clumsily tried to make up for every mistake.
As Su Wan's career stabilized and her mother recovered, Lu Chengze proposed with the illustration she had drawn years ago. At last, she understood: the evening breeze had scattered not love, but obsession. She chose to turn back, not because she forgave the hurt of the past, but because she believed the man who was willing to set aside himself for her was worth waiting with for a warm future.
