#Female-oriented skin, male-oriented bones# Two formidable leads, undercurrents brewing #Workplace power games #Tension and push-pull #Rekindled love after a breakup#
Nine years ago, amid a torrential downpour at the Guomao Tower, newly graduated master’s student Lin Wan stumbled into her first job. Her fate became quietly entwined with that of her stern boss, Zhou Chen, through a crack in an employee badge and three old scars. They once stood side by side on a snowy night in New York and became “co-conspirators” in the cutthroat world of capital, but parted with regrets under the pressure of reality and the barriers of silence. “I’m not disappointed,” and “Take care” brought their unfinished love to an end.
Nine years later, Lin Wan is an independent, accomplished curator, while Zhou Chen has become a leading figure in AI ethics. Fate binds them together again through a national project to “restore the city’s memories.” As they uncover “light in the dust” amid industrial ruins, old feelings stir once more like clouds of dust. Reason and emotion pull fiercely against each other, while the present and the past repeatedly put them to the test. The dam Zhou Chen built with silence and restraint finally breaks under Lin Wan’s clear-eyed, unwavering “ultimatum.”
When Lin Wan resolutely ends her stable relationship, and Zhou Chen finally faces his heart and stops running away, can the glass crack that has divided them for nine years finally let true light through? This is a story about trauma and healing, avoidance and courage, forgetting and remembering. Between the coldness of algorithms and the lingering warmth of memory, two souls once lost try to rebuild the laws of love atop the ruins.
