When a physics genius who puts reason above all else meets a passionate, emotional art student, the equations of college life become impossible to solve.
Lin Xu is an icy top student whose life is as orderly as a precise physics formula.
Jiang Ran is a vibrant wellspring of inspiration, seeing the world as a carefree palette. On the first day of classes, a little-known art book in the library brings their parallel lines together in an instant.
They become roommates, struggling yet sweetly learning to coexist amid the collision of formulas and colors, logic and emotion. From their debate over cafeteria food to bursts of inspiration late at night, from the cracks left by misunderstandings to looking after each other on a rainy night, Lin Xu makes an exception and lets Jiang Ran doodle in his notes, while Jiang Ran casts a ray of sunshine called “the exception” into Lin Xu’s tightly controlled world.
This is a tender story about two souls drawn to each other and finding redemption together. When a rigorous universe meets unruly romance, the most beautiful solution they work out is love.
(The story is told from Jiang Ran’s point of view.)
