When she was seventeen, Shen Yu met Jiang Xun.
One is a cold and rational academic god, a "perfect machine" who carries the family's expectations; the other is a talented academic master, a "lone wolf" who uses pride as a shell and carries a broken family alone. From the tit-for-tat confrontation on the competition field to the unexpected intersection in the convenience store late at night, they thought each other was just their opponent, but in each confrontation, their eyes were burned by each other's dazzling light.
Until Shen Yu was injured while protecting Jiang Xun, until Jiang Xun stood in front of him and said, "Try moving him," until in that 30-square-meter dilapidated rental house, Jiang Xun's shoulders trembled for the first time in front of another person——
Something started to change.
From rivals on campus to allies fighting side by side, from supporting each other in life and death in the rainstorm to "I don't want to see you carry it alone" on a rainy night, they understand each other in the confrontation and fall into sincerity in the protection. When the family secrets surfaced and the smoke of business war swept across, they chose to join forces to fight back and leave their backs to each other.
Ten years later, they stand on the business map they created and look back on their journey——
The strongest opponent turned out to be the right person in the end.
From the confrontation between the young and the bright to the light, this is a story about evenly matched love and redemption running in both directions. Two proud people learned softness from each other; two lonely people saw light in each other's eyes.
"Do you need a reason to protect someone?"
"No need."
Because it is you, so I am willing.
