[A Gentle, Reserved Powerhouse from an Aristocratic Family x A Clear-Eyed, Resilient Reporter from a Small City]
They meet by chance at a cultural relics conference.
She moves to the capital, lives in a semi-basement, quits her job, and works diligently as an invisible nobody on his project for three years.
She gives it everything she has, but still can't get into his field of vision.
She devotes herself to becoming someone he might like, but never manages to become herself.
Finally coming to her senses, she makes a decisive exit.
When they meet again, she finally faces him calmly. "Professor Ji, I'm not looking at you anymore."
His long-delayed attention finally turns to her. This time, he is the one who keeps turning back, chasing the woman who has already walked away.
