She is Su Wan, an advertising planner who is overwhelmed by PUAs in the workplace and lovelorn love. She drags her tired luggage and escapes into an ancient urban temple, hoping to use green lanterns and incense to hide from the storm in the world; he is Chen Liaochen, a disciple of Jingci Temple who is wearing a monk's robe and holding a scripture. He escaped into Buddhism ten years ago due to the death of a close relative, using the "precepts" as a shell to isolate the pain.
Accidental collisions in the Sutra Pavilion, fingertips touching under the morning clock, late-night conversations in convenience stores, ginger tea and notes during a low fever, quietly created an undue bond between people who belong to two worlds. She directly probed "Do you dare to say that your heart is in front of the Buddha?", But he avoided answering, but broke the precepts and left the temple when she had acute gastritis, and stayed with her all night until dawn; she was dissuaded by the world and surrounded by the gentleness of the second male lead, but she still held on to the "The Sky Is Blue After Rain" written by him and refused to let go.
The kiss of Gu Huai under the moon was the beginning of the collapse of his discipline and the prelude to the sadomasochism between the two - he fled in panic, she was heartbroken and soaked in the rain, and the words "the relationship between you and me is false" when saying goodbye at the mountain gate became the gap between the green lanterns and the neon lights. But the Buddha said that "cultivation is in the human world", so he finally took off his monk's robe and rushed to Shanghai with a year's accumulation and calmness. They met again at the draft meeting hosted by her and handed over a calligraphy scroll with "I'm back" written on it.
It turns out that the tranquility of the green lanterns and the noise of the neon lights are never in opposition; it turns out that the real practice is not to hide in ancient temples and copy scriptures, but to hold the people you love and live every ordinary day into each other's "Buddha's Kingdom on Earth".
