Wang Yuan has been working as a fast fashion designer for five years. He changes pictures every day, takes the blame, and is scolded by the director for being "uninspired". On the day she resigned, she got drunk in the rental house and stared blankly at a notebook from her college days - inside was a post-it note from seven years ago, with the handwriting of senior Gu Yan on it: "This cut is very smart."
She thought he had forgotten her.
But on the day we reunited, Gu Yan said, "I still remember your graduation project."
She was selected into the designer incubation program he was in charge of and was forced to compete with her arch-enemy Zhao Zhi. Zhao Zhi publicly humiliated her for "relying on connections," and she endured it; Zhao Zhi asked people to accuse her of plagiarism, and she endured it; but when Zhao Zhi said, "Did you sleep with him?" She laughed: "Do you think a woman's professional ability can only rely on this?"
When both career and love reached an impasse, Wang Yuan discovered one thing: Gu Yan had liked her seven years ago. He collected her photos and every piece of her work. He even remembered the cheongsam made by her mother clearly.
But she also discovered that she was just the shadow of another woman.
