She is like a pool of still water, with no ripples on the surface, but surging desire hidden inside.
Chi Jing entered Nanfeng University with her inferiority complex and indifference imprinted by her family and past, trying to continue to play the role of a rule-abiding person, and firmly imprisoned the self in her heart that longed to break free and burn wantonly. She thought college was just another body of water to be carefully navigated.
Until she met Ember again.
He is the unruly wind in everyone's eyes, the cold and charming ember after the fire burns, flamboyant, dangerous, and with the power to easily disturb the water in the pool.
Reunited in the hustle and bustle of September, he broke into the peace she was trying to maintain with his unruly look.
Two seemingly opposite individuals, in a strange city, began a mutual trial that started out of curiosity. He was the hidden reef that appeared quietly under her calm water, and the sudden change in her step-by-step life. And she was a quiet exception in his noisy world, the only island in her careless eyes that she wanted to stay on for a long time.
This is a collision between quiet and noisy, a game between reason and emotion. When still water meets fire, will they annihilate each other, or will they reflect each other and create a different kind of prairie fire?
"Chi Jing, do you love me? Have you ever loved me?"
"Chi Jing, tell me, say you hate me, say you want to leave me!"
"Chi Jing, playing with me is like playing with a dog."
Sorry. I thought we were all people struggling in the quagmire, but now I find that you are not, you are beautiful, warm, and born toward the sun.
So I have to leave you, I have to leave you.
Purpose: The story explores the search and acceptance of self by contemporary young people as they grow up, by depicting the process of encounter, temptation, and redemption between the introverted and inferior Chi Jing and the rebellious Hu Yan. It tells us that true growth is not about becoming another person, but about having the courage to release the suppressed true self. The collision of two seemingly opposite souls illuminates each other's truest desires deep in their hearts - we all long to be seen, understood, and accepted, and in this acceptance, we can finally reconcile with our imperfect selves.
