"The Tenth and the Seventh Year" tells the moving story of the rational and reserved lawyer Lin Mo and the enthusiastic and lively school girl Su Nian, from a late-night conversation by mistake to finally knowing each other and staying together.
28-Year-old Lin Mo had just ended a ten-year relationship. After getting drunk on a rainy night, he confided his feelings to a strange girl Su Nian on social software. 21-Year-old Su Nian was deeply attracted by this story, and even recognized Lin Mo in reality as a senior sister from the same school. With her unremitting enthusiasm and the Siamese cat they both raised, she stepped into Lin Mo's closed world. An accident caused by Su Nian's black Shiba Inu "hacker" started their cohabitation life.
Living together is the starting point of sweetness and the breeding ground for conflicts. Economic disparity, personality conflicts, and external doubts followed one after another. Su Nian suffered many setbacks in her job search, but Lin Mo's "for your own good" arrangement turned out to be a sharp wound, causing the relationship to break down. During the separation, Lin Mo learned to respect and show weakness, while Su Nian found her self-worth in independent struggle. In the end, they reunited because of the pets they raised together. After deep reflection and equal dialogue, they grew into more mature selves and became more suitable partners.
They jointly adopted a retired German shepherd, faced challenges in the workplace side by side, integrated "law" and "art", and finally achieved the consummation of career and love with cats and dogs in a home with a courtyard. This is a story about growth, healing, and learning to love the other person the way they need to be loved.
Intent:* **The true meaning of love is respect and side by side:** True love is not unilateral protection or attachment, but respecting each other's independent personality and career, and being the strongest support for each other on the battlefield. * **Growth is the cornerstone of relationships:** Conflicts and separation are not terrible. The key lies in whether both parties are willing to reflect and change and achieve common growth. * **Healthy love requires breaking down inner barriers: ** We must learn to break the inner laws established by past scars, bravely expose our vulnerabilities, and use communication and understanding to build new laws belonging to "us".
