Rising actress Pei Muzhao loses a large number of fans after making her relationship public. When she tries to return to the entertainment industry after the breakup, she finds it nearly impossible.
Struggling to find work and unable to land good long-form drama scripts, she decides to switch lanes and shoot short dramas in horizontal format.
As she adapts to her new career, the man who shares her home confesses his feelings for her.
One night, Han Qianzhi breaks through the unspoken barrier between them and crosses the line for good.
Facing the man she has lived with for more than twenty years, Pei Muzhao suddenly feels as if she doesn't know him at all.
That night, he makes her write a pledge agreeing to let him pursue her. A couple of days later, Pei Muzhao regrets it, deciding she shouldn't just go along with what he wants. She wants to revoke the pledge, and Han Qianzhi agrees.
The barrier between them has already been broken. There will be plenty of time to win her over.
As one thing after another happens, Pei Muzhao starts to depend on him, until she truly falls in love with him.
She never imagined there would come a day when she would love him. Just as she is preparing to return his feelings, Han Qianzhi backs away.
"Maybe your life would be just as wonderful without me. It's only that someone like me needs you."
His hesitation doesn't make Pei Muzhao falter. Instead, it brings out her true feelings.
She says, "Without you, my life wouldn't be complete."
