The sweetness comes from the male lead's unwavering love and doting on the female lead, and the genuine friendship between them… The heartbreak comes from the seven years they missed, the female lead being bullied, and Qiu Yu's passing… The regret comes from Shen Bin's ending, the true love between seventeen-year-old Zhou Ting and Wanwan, and Zhi Qing. It turns out that everything from seven years ago was a game of chess, a scheme.
