Lin Wanxia, 28 years old, is the manager of the independent leather goods brand "Twilight". It took her ten years to climb from a shantytown girl to the position of domestic leather goods design newcomer award. She thought that the most difficult hurdle in life had been overcome - until Lu Shen pushed open the door at the college reunion.
Ten years ago, he was the proud son of the architecture department, and she was the Cinderella in the corner who didn't even dare to confess. Ten years later, she is a new star in the industry, but he is a "down-and-out young man" who started over with a handmade shoe shop after Lu's bankruptcy. He showed up with a mysterious large custom order for twelve bags, requesting that "each one is different, but put together it tells a story." She should have refused, but she discovered that her works from each season were collected on the wall of his studio.
What she didn't know was: he had been waiting for her for ten years. He had been paying attention to her during the military training in his freshman year; the letter explaining everything in his sophomore year was hidden; he once stood in the alley of her shanty town wearing a white shirt, and was scolded by her mother. She also didn't know that he had been wearing the leather bracelet she made when she was a sophomore that was so ugly that she wanted to throw it away for ten years.
When the truth is revealed layer by layer, she faces more than just emotional choices - brand crisis, investors' olive branches, contract breaches by foundries, invitations from the international stage... Every step is made on the edge of a knife. And the only thing she was sure of was: this time, she didn't want to escape again.
This is not a story about a prince saving Cinderella. It was two people who grew into big trees in the ruins, and finally recognized each other's light in the depths of twilight.
