28-Year-old Lin Yanxiu is a top actor in the entertainment industry. He has superb acting skills and impeccable looks, but privately he is a "hollow man" who suffers from severe insomnia and emotional isolation due to childhood trauma and years of high-pressure life. He lives under a carefully constructed mask and cannot feel real happiness and pain.
22-Year-old Shen Zhiyi is the owner of a niche independent bookstore and an unknown picture book illustrator. She has a warm and tough personality, like a sunflower, but she lost her parents in an accidental fire three years ago and was left with psychological trauma from confined spaces and thick smoke. She used books and paintings to build her own safe zone and lick her wounds quietly.
The turning point of fate began with an own goal. In order to experience life and find inspiration for a new role, Lin Yanxiu disguised himself as a down-and-out extra and accidentally rented a small room in the attic of Shen Zhiyi's bookstore. The two became landlord and tenant without knowing each other's true identities.
During the day, he is a taciturn, mysterious, and even clumsy "Axiu"; at night, he is a top star who attracts much attention, but can only face the long night alone in the hotel room. Shen Zhiyi's bookstore became Lin Yanxiu's "safe haven". The tea she brewed, the stories she shared casually, and the warmth and resilience she inadvertently revealed were all like trickles, beginning to melt the ice in his heart. Lin Yanxiu's calmness and occasional vulnerability also made Shen Zhiyi feel a strange sense of peace of mind.
However, the real world is coming. Lin Yanxiu's rivals discovered his secret, and a huge battle was launched against him.
