On the forum, the anonymous "H" criticized Lin Xi's script thoroughly. She didn't know that this sharp critic was Shen Qingci, the genius senior she had a crush on, and a stranger to whom she gave a candy on a rainy night seven years ago.
He wore a vest to polish her edge, and she countered his coldness with professionalism. They sting and illuminate each other in the confrontation of light and shadow. It wasn't until she handed over the familiar candy on the rainy night set that the truth was revealed.
"I scold you because I want you to hate me and fall in love with the real Shen Qingci."
From campus forums to international film festivals, from tit-for-tat to fighting side by side. She doesn't want redemptive love, he wants side-by-side comrades. After three years of separation, they each reached the top. When the classmates reunited, he knelt down on one knee and held out not a diamond ring, but a ring cast from film:
"Director Lin Xi, can you be my co-director for the rest of my life?"
Two strong people love each other and redeem literature. She once saved his life, and it took him seven years to come to her and say: I will spend the rest of my life repaying this candy.
Mission: Professionalism is the blade, salvation is the promise, and we will go to the peak of light and shadow together.
