Six years ago, Shen Qingge was a celebrated dance prodigy, while Lu Yanzhao was a taciturn, impoverished student. She was the dream he never dared confess, and he was the unexpected love who stirred her heart when she was young and carefree. But on the eve of the college entrance exams, the Shen family was struck by a sudden disaster. She saw him take a thick envelope from a rival company, and then he vanished without a trace.
Six years later, they meet again. She is a struggling director running around to make a documentary about intangible cultural heritage, while he is a young, well-born investor who has just arrived on the scene, courted wherever he goes. She treats him with cold formality, but he advances step by step, using the project as an excuse to force his way into her life.
He remembers she is allergic to peanuts. He carries her through muddy villages in the dead of night, and still keeps a blurry video of her dancing from six years ago on his phone. Shen Qingge tells herself this is just a rich man's game, until the truths buried for years are gradually revealed: what happened to that money, why he left without a word, and the brutal beating that nearly destroyed his life.
It turns out the deepest love in the world isn't a desperate plea for someone to stay. It's giving everything to send her farther away, even knowing she'll misunderstand. As their misconceptions fade and the boy from the past finally returns, can this confession, delayed by six years, still receive the answer he hopes for?
