[Dual female leads + campus and city life + rekindled romance + two strong rivals]
[Cool on the outside, warm on the inside sound designer x unconventional, gifted horror screenwriter]
Rivalry on campus at first, reunion at work later
Some say you two are like kings who can never share the same court. I say you were made for each other.
Xu Yuan was offended by Shi Xian's single word, "Pretentious," the first time they met, and it stuck with her throughout her youth.
They clashed on the debate team and argued their way through the film club, gradually learning to work together.
Until they were forced to collaborate on a short film and discovered they were the only ones who could catch every idea the other threw out.
Later, they kissed outside Wishbone and held each other in Shi Xian's rented apartment.
But one was too reserved to speak up, and the other too self-absorbed to realize it. In the end, Xu Yuan left her with the words, "Let's call it quits," and disappeared into the crowd.
When they met again, they found themselves facing off on the set of a horror film.
Shi Xian had learned to temper her sharp edges and be considerate, while Xu Yuan had finally learned to express herself.
When an accident on set triggered Xu Yuan's trauma, Shi Xian led her into the break room and put headphones on her.
"This time, I won't let you face it alone."
The best way to mend a broken relationship is for both of us to become better people,
then fall in love again.
