At sixteen, school bully Cheng Yi begins repeatedly dreaming of a strange girl in tears. Fourteen-year-old Jiang Ningge, meanwhile, dreams in fear of a warm but indistinct silhouette. Two souls living in parallel worlds quietly meet in their dreams.
In real life, they are the two people at Yunxi No. 1 High School least likely to cross paths: he ranks near the bottom of his class and is the arrogant, unruly grandson of Kyoto's richest man; she is a solitary, boy-averse academic star who always ranks first. When they run into each other on the street, Cheng Yi looks up in the middle of a brawl and sees her terrified face, exactly like the girl in his dreams.
From that day on, he awkwardly tries to get closer while she warily backs away. He works hard for her, rising from last place to become the top scorer on the college entrance exam. Because of him, she slowly begins to untangle a decade-old knot in her heart and learns to trust again. When they discover that they have shared the same dream across the years, the red thread of fate finally comes into view.
From the cherry trees at Yunxi No. 1 High School to the chapel at Best University; from an innocent first love to partners building a career side by side; from sweet moments alone together to the warmth of four generations under one roof. Over seventy years, they turn a miracle that began in a dream into a reality they can touch.
This is no fairy tale, but a story about redemption, growth, and steadfast devotion. When the light and shadows of a dream enter the real world, love becomes the only compass, guiding two broken souls as they heal each other and shine together through the long years, until they become a legend themselves.
They meet in dreams, and their journey begins in reality. Their lives bear witness: love is eternal.
