[Unaware of His Own Feelings + Two Male Leads + Reconciliation After a Breakup + Love and Hate + Younger Man + Showbiz]
Ke Zhou, a musical prodigy from Haicheng Conservatory of Music, gave up composing entirely after graduation and became a delivery driver, earning barely enough to get by. Since the falling-out two years ago, he hadn't written even half a piece. It was as if all his once-brilliant talent had vanished. Unwilling to return to his hometown, he hit one dead end after another in Haicheng. With nowhere else to turn, he thought the rest of his life would be spent drifting aimlessly in mediocrity.
Then an invitation to the anniversary celebration of the Music Awards arrived. The moment he came across the announced guest list, Ke Zhou spotted that name at once: Fang Kuo.
Two years ago, the two of them had fallen out completely, trading cruel insults. Ke Zhou told everyone that Fang Kuo had died, and even burned paper offerings for him every holiday.
Meanwhile, Fang Kuo checked and rechecked the invitation and the announced guest list, making sure Ke Zhou would be there too. For the past two years, whenever he got drunk, he called Ke Zhou and hurled the nastiest words at him, picking fights and laying blame. And Ke Zhou always answered, no matter how late it was.
They had once promised to be everything to each other, and to remain brothers for life unless death parted them.
After their falling-out, they both acted as if the other were dead and would never be seen again. At a stranger's funeral, Fang Kuo even told someone that the person being buried was Ke Zhou.
Everyone in their circle understood without a word that the two men were forbidden territory for each other. No one dared bring up their past lightly.
Every late-night call began with a heart full of hatred and ended in a torrent of abuse. Yet somewhere deep down, a faint glimmer of hope remained.
Even if all that was left was resentment, they would stay entangled for life, never allowing the other to simply leave their lives.
