An exclusive agreement at the heart
Everyone in the Xingzhou business community knows that Gu Yanci, the president of the Gu family, is cold and decisive, and made an exception in his grandfather's will - signing a one-year "agreement partner" just to secure the inheritance rights.
Su Muyan, the manager of an independent design studio that was on the verge of bankruptcy, became the "safety option" in the agreement in order to save his life. He thought this was just a deal where everyone got what they needed, but because of the lotus seed soup left by Gu Yanci late at night, his subconscious protection at the banquet, and his silent support during the planned crisis, he moved his heart that he shouldn't have.
Gu Yanci also thought that he could control everything, but when he saw Su Muyan's notebook recording his preferences, the serious look on designing a rehabilitation device for his grandfather, and the gentle profile of his face in the sunset, he lost his usual calm self-control. The agreement becomes an excuse, the hug hides the sincerity, and even the accidental kiss is so sweet that it makes your heart tremble.
But the imprint of his original family made Gu Yanci accustomed to "escape" to cover up his worries. The conspiracy of business wars and the pressure of the family pushed the two into the abyss again and again. When they broke up for the first time, he said "it's just cooperation", and looked at Su Muyan's back as he tore up the agreement, with blood oozing from his clenched fists; when they broke up for the second time, he hesitated to hide it, causing Su Muyan to leave the town in despair, only then did he understand that "the Gu family can be built again without him, but without him there is nothing."
From the cold agreement to the sincere delivery, from the heartbreak of two breakups to the pursuit of his wife across the city to redeem himself, Gu Yanci finally learned to be honest: "I was afraid that I couldn't give you the best before, but now I know that the best thing is to face everything with you."
When President Gu put down his dignity and repaired his neighbor's bicycle in a small town just to see him; when Designer Wen Run lowered his guard and held his hand in the heavy rain and said, "I will trust you for the last time." This encounter, which started with interests, eventually became the only sincere agreement for the rest of my life - "This agreement is valid for life, and the content is: love each other and never separate."
Purpose: It uses the rational and binding form of "agreement" as a carrier to explore the uniqueness and security of "exclusiveness" in emotion, and ultimately shows the process of emotion from restraint and temptation to breaking through constraints and moving towards sincere connection under a rational framework.
