Lin Qianyu, a sweet, studious girl raised amid the misty rain of Jiangnan, moves thousands of miles alone to the cold, dry northern city of Beicheng after her parents are transferred for work.
Quiet and self-possessed, with a bookish air, she is a model student who has always followed the rules. All she wants is to finish high school in peace and pursue the future she dreams of. Xie Ci, on the other hand, is Beicheng's untouchable school bully, a rich heir to a top-tier family. Proud and rebellious, he is full of pent-up aggression. The coldness of his family has left him hollow inside, and he has become a lone wolf who keeps to himself.
Then, by chance, he meets a southern girl who isn't afraid of him or trying to please him, whose eyes are clear and pure. She crashes straight into his heart.
From then on, Beicheng's wildest boy puts away his sharp edges and begins an obsessive, clumsy campaign to win her over.
He reins in his temper for her, lowers his head and studies for her, and stands against his entire cold-hearted family for her, giving every bit of his tenderness and favoritism to her alone.
Lin Qianyu is the only light to shine into his barren youth, the salvation he wants to hold on to for the rest of his life.
From the noisy, sweltering classrooms of high school, to the university campus where they grow side by side, and finally to the peak of their respective careers, where both make their mark.
They bridge the differences between the north and south, endure the hazy years of youth, and break free of prejudice over social class.
The boy sheds his unruly ways and grows into a steady, powerful man; the girl overcomes her timidity and becomes an independent professional.
The southern wind travels a thousand miles to the northern wilds. One meeting, and she is his for life. Ten years together, and their love has never faded.
