"White Shirt and Charcoal Marks" is a youth growth epic that spans six years. It tells the story of Lin Chuxia, a girl with low self-esteem but talent for painting, and Gu Xingchen, a cold piano genius, from campus to wedding dress.
On the first day of high school, Lin Chuxia accidentally entered the abandoned piano room and bumped into Gu Xingchen who was playing the piano. The Chopin flowing from his fingertips and the silent starry sky under her charcoal pen were quietly intertwined that morning. After becoming the front and back desk, he picked up the sketchbook she left behind, and she heard his argument with her father. As they meet again and again, the two lonely hearts gradually get closer - he teaches her mathematics, and she listens to his piano practice; he protects her dream of painting, and she understands his obsession with music.
However, competition in art classes, family barriers, and the pressure of college entrance examinations followed one after another. Ye Qinglan's appearance brings challenges, Gu's father's opposition sets up difficulties, and misunderstandings and separation test the sixteen-year-old first love. They spent their entire youth to prove: The most beautiful love is to stand side by side with you in the light and dare to accompany you through the darkness.
From the youthful campus to their respective brilliance, from the seaside vows to the Paris duo exhibition, in six years, they grew into better versions of themselves and became irreplaceable stars in each other's lives.
This is a story about having the courage to love and pursue dreams. When the music of the campus piano sounds again, the starry sky on the canvas will shine forever - because the stars and you are the sweetest youth.
