A glance at the high school chess club, a lean on the bus, and the secret feelings of a young boy and girl are stirred.
He is the school's dazzling star, while she is an excellent student, gentle on the outside but strong within.
They date in secret. Then a breakup letter: she thinks she's holding him back, so she walks away decisively, avoiding every chance of getting back together.
When the college entrance exams are over, she narrowly misses out on Nanzhu University, and the two are separated for good.
Two years later, they meet again at a work dinner during a business collaboration.
The boy she once knew is now a rising star in the business world. Resentment is etched into his heart, but his love has never faded.
