In the winter of 2022, Lin Yu and Lu Xiaoya lost their jobs in the same wave of layoffs. Over instant noodles in a rental house, they made a "three-year agreement": each would go to the strongest city to work hard. Three years later, regardless of success or failure, they would meet in the original cafe.
In the past three years, Lin Yu has worked day and night in a science and technology company in Shenzhen. He has grown from a "code farmer" to a responsible project leader, and has experienced the coldness of capital and the warmth of human kindness. Lu Xiaoya has gone through many ups and downs in Beijing's media circle, from being a screenwriter to owning her own studio. She has been bruised and bruised by the pull between ideals and reality.
They share their success through videos, but hide their grievances on the phone; they send expensive gifts, but cannot hand over a glass of warm water when the other person is sick. As the appointment date approached, Lin Yu received a headhunting invitation from Beijing, and Lu Xiaoya's project got the opportunity to develop in Shenzhen. Should you rush to that romantic agreed place, or go to the real city where the other person is? They discovered that in the past three years, not only status and income had changed, but also the definitions of "success" and "love" themselves.
Intention: Time and distance are not yardsticks to test love, but knives to carve individual growth. The real "three-year agreement" does not point to an end point that must be reached, but guides both parties on a parallel growth track, and finally whether they can recognize each other again at the pinnacle of the spiritual world.
