[Two male protagonists] + [Boss] + [Double academic tyrants] + [Abstinence]
Gu Xiaozhou came from a well-known family, was calm and restrained, and was born with a sense of aloofness and alienation. After years of fighting in the shopping mall, he has long been accustomed to shutting out all warmth, leaving only reason and means.
Jiang Nianzhi is completely different. He is a freelance writer, with a restless heart hidden under his artistic temperament. He is good at growing in gaps, his mouth is frivolous, but his eyes are somewhat sincere.
The two first met at a business event. Jiang Nianzhi was invited to attend the interview and accidentally knocked over Gu Xiaozhou's wine glass. At that moment, cold eyes and playful apologies met. One was as distant as a glacier, and the other smiled casually.
Reunion in the hotel lobby at night. Jiang Nianzhi was entangled by his creditors and was in a desperate situation. Gu Xiaozhou pulled him out of the predicament with just a glance, but also put forward a condition - writing a false love contract as a shield.
Their relationship thus unfolds, seemingly cold and ambiguous. Jiang Nianzhi always said that he was just "acting", but his heart trembled when Gu Xiaozhou lost control for him for the first time. Gu Xiaozhou repeatedly told himself that this was just a transaction, but when he saw Jiang Nianzhi laughing and chatting with others, he couldn't help but get angry.
After pushing away and approaching each other countless times, they all realized that they were no longer bound by a contract, but had become a bond that they could not let go of. Jiang Nianzhi was uneasy, but he longed to be truly left behind; Gu Xiaozhou's restraint could not withstand the temptation to become soft-hearted again and again. Desire and sincerity are intertwined, ambiguity and restraint are pulled together, step by step towards the abyss from which there is no escape.
