A female-led coming-of-age story, with the second male lead taking center stage. A realistic tone, featuring the plastic surgery and medical aesthetics industry.
In 2007, 22-year-old Shen Muxue was temporarily assigned by Yin Zhiheng to Nanning to work on a medical aesthetics magazine. She had no idea that those ten days would not only change the course of her career, but also send three men down entirely different paths in life.
The story of the six girls who shared her college dorm unfolds alongside hers. One joins the civil service, another fights her way up the corporate ladder, and another earns a PhD. Each follows her own path, yet they share the same memories of youth and grow into very different people over the years.
Shen Muxue works her way up from copywriting and planning, becoming a planning director within six months. Later, she secures the position of marketing director.
After all the twists and turns, she finally sees that the person she truly loves has been by her side all along. She and Gu Yunzhou support and bring out the best in each other.
She thinks her life has finally settled into a peaceful rhythm. But while she is pregnant, her father's sudden death shatters the last illusion of warmth. She comes to understand that having enough is better than having it all, and that regret doesn't mean you have to stop moving forward. You carry it with you and keep going.
Through a thousand miles of falling snow, she is fortunate to meet Yunzhou again in spring.
Love is meeting as equals. Love is weighing the pros and cons. Love is following your heart.
To hold your regrets close and gently find your own way through them: that is the beginning of a lifelong romance with life.
The story spans 2007 to 2019, as the medical aesthetics industry shifts from traditional major surgery to minimally invasive injectables, and its marketing moves from pyramid schemes toward new media.
This story is dedicated to Ms. Y and Mr. M. Having you with me along the way has been an honor.
