Wen Nuan was a humble foxtail grass growing everywhere, unnoticed by all. At fifteen, she stumbled into the world of the dazzling young Gou Jun, and a grand, secret crush consumed her entire youth. Afraid of rumors and of holding her back, he pushed away anyone who came close with cold words. “If she’s going, I’m not.” Those words became a knot in her heart that she could not untie for seven years.
Seven years later, they meet again in Shanghai, and fate binds them together once more. Their workplace ties, other people’s misunderstandings, the gulf between their family backgrounds, and Su, the fake childhood sweetheart who keeps meddling, all drive them apart. When she meets his parents, his mother is openly hostile. Everyone assumes they are from mismatched worlds. Then Lu Yu, a gentle gallery owner, appears, making her think she is nothing more than a passing stranger in Gou Jun’s life.
But all that deliberate coldness was just the young man’s way of hiding feelings he couldn’t contain. Gou Jun clears up the misunderstanding that has lingered for years and declares his love for her in front of everyone, standing up to his family and choosing her without hesitation. It turns out that even a wild weed in the middle of nowhere has always had its own warm sunshine. After all the twists and turns, the love that came too late will finally make up for seven years of hurt and regret.
