A synesthete who excels in both finance and psychology, Song Cheng, and Lin Yu, the top student in the fine arts department
Amid the cold flood of data in the finance department, Song Cheng is an admired prodigy, yet no one knows that a dazzling hallucination lies within his eyes: he can see the colors of time and hear the echoes of memory. His world is filled with precise charts and indifferent expectations, until an unexpected meeting on a tree-lined avenue brings Lin Yu into his view like a shaft of light. This art student, who paints Dunhuang sunsets and rain-soaked plane trees into eternity, turns out to have an astonishing connection to the mysterious research his mother left behind.
Their collaboration uncovers a long-buried universe of perception: the dizzying rises and falls of the financial market can apparently be predicted through Van Gogh’s swirling patterns, while the emotions flowing across Lin Yu’s canvases can light up the lonely nights Song Cheng has endured for years. But then comes the inescapable trap his father lays in the name of business. Collaboration, control, separation: every step feels like dancing on a knife’s edge.
When science meets art, reason clashes with emotion, and two utterly different souls decide to stand side by side, can they weave a future with color and data that breaks through prejudice? And what kind of miracle will the secret that has stained Song Cheng’s world with time bring to life beneath the starry night?
