In the cold concrete forest, everyone is an island. Suspense novelist Chen Mo is the loneliest one. His words are like a scalpel, precise and cold, dissecting the abyss of human nature, but unable to prescribe a cure for his troubled life. His talent is a pearl in the deep sea, heavy and unnoticed.
Su Qingyan is the youngest ace editor-in-chief of the top domestic publishing group "Wenmofang". She is a precise monsoon, able to smell every breath of best-selling books. She pursues the market, believes in data, and ruthlessly determines the life or death of a book with the red pen in her hand.
When Chen Mo's "Echo of the Abyss", which had been rejected countless times, unexpectedly fell into the hands of Su Qingyan, the collision between the two worlds erupted into violent sparks. One is a "madman" who is obsessed with pure art, and the other is a "queen" who believes in the iron law of business.
She wants to polish his pearls into diamonds sought after by the market, but he defends the soul of his work to the death. In this tug-of-war between words, ideals and reality, love quietly grows. It is like a vine, entangled in the gaps of quarrels, growing in late night companionship, and blooming in each other's compromises and achievements.
When "Echoes of the Abyss" really triggered a market response and pushed Chen Mo to the pinnacle of fame and fortune, a deeper abyss followed. The frame-up of plagiarism, the coercion of capital, the shadow of the past... They were once united by words, and now, they must also use mutual trust to fight against the echo from the abyss that can swallow everything.
