Lin Wan has been taught to be "good" since she was a child - what she wears, what she studies, and what kind of person she becomes are all decided by others. On the day when she filled out her application form for the college entrance examination, she changed her first choice without telling her parents and dragged her suitcase to the provincial capital university alone. Here, she met Shen Du, the president of the student union, a popular figure in the school, a boy who wrapped himself in a wall with "excellence". Two people who are accustomed to forbearance get closer due to temptation and separate due to misunderstanding. From campus to workplace, from the age of eighteen to twenty-eight, they each struggled to learn to say "no" and learn to be responsible for their own choices.
This is not a story about who saves who. This is a story about two people who first stand firm in their own lives before moving toward each other. True freedom is not about escaping, but about having the ability to choose to stay.
