That summer in the senior year of high school when the sweet-scented osmanthus was overflowing, the sunshine only favored Ji Yaoran. He was a dignified and distant young master from a rich family. He casually took Jiang Yan, who was being bullied, under his wing, just on a whim - he had never seen the young man huddled in the shadows, Jiang Yan was just an insignificant existence in the mud at the bottom.
Many years later, Ji Yaoran's family collapsed, but Jiang Yan crushed the dust with his fierceness and stood at a height that was beyond his reach. At this time, Jiang Yan had already lost his cowardice, became ruthless and decisive, and hid his edge, and extended a helping hand to Ji Yaoran who was in trouble. He personally taught him to dismantle the business situation, lose his squeamishness, and accompany him to restart the family business from the bottom.
It was in the collapsing world that Ji Yaoran saw clearly the strength and tenacity of this man, and he couldn't help but sink. But this love has been a misplaced regret from the beginning:
When Jiang Yan looked up at him, his eyes were full of contempt; when he fell in love with her, Jiang Yan had already been soaked in pain, leaving only numbness and tenacity.
The class gap and time mismatch make the two fall in love too late and painfully. The past that cannot be crossed will eventually trap these two people at opposite ends of the destiny.
