Lin Zhixia, a junior in the Chinese Department, has a rational and restrained personality. However, due to an unexpected collision on a sultry July afternoon, she fell in love at first sight with Shen Dunnian, the youngest associate professor in the Department of Philosophy. The man was cold, distant, and deeply traumatized by an old relationship, but she approached him like a moth to a flame.
Shen Dunian's sister Shen Zhiyi appears to be gentle and considerate on the surface, taking the initiative to help Lin Zhixia connect, but secretly he lays a dragnet - binding her hands and feet with money, paralyzing her vigilance with trust, and completely crushing her dream with "You are not good enough for him".
When Lin Zhixia finally waited for Shen Dunian's words "We are together", what greeted her was not the starting point of happiness, but the revelation of the truth carefully planned by Shen Zhiyi: this relationship was a use, a transition, and her wishful thinking from the beginning.
An IOU worth 50,000 yuan, 28 missed calls, a boyfriend who never said the word "love"... Lin Zhixia was forced to wake up on a snowy night. She chose to break up, not because she didn't love her, but because she finally understood that true love cannot be maintained by begging and sympathy.
This is a story about a girl's journey from obsession to awakening. At her most embarrassing age, she was deceived by the person she trusted the most and let down by the person she loved the most, but she also learned the most important lesson: first become your own light, and then you can be treated gently by the world.
