Before graduation, Lin Zhiyao thought she and Lu Jingcheng would simply move to another city and keep loving each other.
After graduation, all she got were increasingly brief phone calls and promises that repeatedly fell through.
So she ended the relationship and began building a new life for herself in earnest.
Shen Yanchuan admires her intelligence and wants to be part of her future. He has always been steady and restrained, yet in her presence, it's getting harder and harder for him to talk about nothing but work.
He Lin sees an opportunity in the wake of her heartbreak. He approaches her with jokes and tests her out of a desire to win, but before long, he can't bear to treat even her offhand expression of fondness as a joke.
When Lu Jingcheng finally turns back, he realizes that the place he once took for granted is already coveted by someone else.
The old flame has its regrets, while the newcomer has ambitions of his own.
Three people, all used to taking the initiative, are now waiting for her to favor them.
