At the end of September 2025, Lin Zhi, an operator of a major Internet company, packed up his five years of youth and exhaustion from the internal crisis and fled back to his hometown in Jiangnan. An offer from a state-owned enterprise became her salvation. However, the new boss turned out to be Jiang Chen, a temporary cadre from the group headquarters-a man of similar age to her, but who was in the clouds. Jiang Chen has a strong personality, speaks his mind and rarely praises the people around him.
As his temporary secretary, Lin Zhi was very capable, strong, patient, and very perseverant. Over time, Jiang Chen gradually began to appreciate Lin Zhi, and the unknown sides of the two gradually emerged, and they became more and more attracted to each other. But Lin Zhi knew very well that Jiang Chen's temporary job was just a two-year "gold-plating", and her life could no longer afford a mispayment that she knew the outcome of. For him, was Jiang Chen an accidental redemption, or was it just the ripples in his lonely heart? Two sober young people who have also experienced setbacks, in a leisurely and quiet town, in a small workplace, started an extreme push and pull about ideals, reality and emotions.
Purpose: To explore the sense of spiritual wandering among contemporary young people between "escaping from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou" and "taking root in the countryside". Redefining career, love and self-worth in a turbulent environment.
