The 30-year-old Shen Yizhen is an "elite template" in the eyes of the outside world - a top financial vice president with a prestigious school background and a high salary, but is trapped in the shackles of his native family's "must be excellent" and is used to using rationality to cover up his desire for "not perfect but worthy of love"; 28-year-old Su Wan is a freelance illustrator hiding in a "mediocre" shell. She once became a "regret" in the mouth of relatives because of her failure in the college entrance examination, using the word "Buddhist" Pretending to be afraid of failure, only the brush can reveal sensitivity and talent.
Their first encounter in a late-night coffee shop during a rainstorm, and an unexpected collaboration at work allowed the two "masked men" to see the cracks in each other's armors: he lost control of crushing his coffee cup after being reprimanded by his father, and she lost control when facing client A's revision of the draft.
