Lin Weiwan, a junior girl who longs for a stable family, falls in love with Zhou Ye, a senior sports student who dreams of becoming a basketball star.
From campus to workplace, they are always "off the pace" by reality - repeated studies, different places, social class gaps and different definitions of "family and career", making relationships exhausted in the long-distance race.
In the end, when the star male protagonist puts aside everything and returns when the female protagonist's family undergoes a drastic change, the two realize clearly before the test of fate, "Love is not a synchronous trajectory, but I am willing to deviate from the trajectory for you."
