Shen Wei, 28 years old, is a calm and efficient elite of a top capital institution. Her life is a precise KPI chart, and she believes that everything can be valued. Lin Yumo, 26 years old, is the guardian of the independent bookstore "Ink Time". In her world, she firmly believes that some things, such as ideals and love, cannot be priced.
When Shen Wei, with the renovation plan in hand, as the person in charge of the "Qingyuanli" old street project, appeared in front of Lin Yumo as an acquirer, they were natural enemies. One uses data and logic to try to make this old neighborhood "more valuable"; the other uses persistence and tenderness to guard this last corner of idealism to the death.
They were tit for tat at the negotiation table, but unexpectedly shared a moment of warmth and vulnerability in a bookstore on a rainy night. The game that started with the desire to conquer has quietly turned sour in countless confrontations and encounters. For the first time, incalculable variables appeared in Shen Wei's precise world; and the fortress Lin Yumo held fast began to open a gap for the figure who was supposed to be the "enemy".
Intent: When the calm careerists start to lose control, and when the gentle idealists show their sharpness, they are full of tension in the pull between their professional stance and personal emotions.
