On the day of the Waking of Insects, the spring thunder first sounded. Shen Muchen stepped into the campus of Beichen University of Technology with the coldness and stubbornness of a young man from a small town. He is a son of a poor family, ambitious and talented, but he wears a shell of being unruly and aloof. At the postgraduate re-examination site, he unexpectedly touched the man hidden behind the composure - Lin Duzhou, executive vice dean of the School of Materials and his future mentor.
One is a young light chaser who wakes up like thunder, and the other is a night watchman who is as forbearing as the frozen seabed. They are separated by age, status, rules, and a whole world's acquiescence and judgment of the word "taboo". But Shen Muchen's coolness and rebelliousness quietly broke through the emotional dam that Lin Duzhou had built over the years. Lin Duzhou's calm and restrained care also unknowingly activated Shen Muchen's confused perception of "dependence" and "love".
They are testing, ambiguous, and struggling with each other - conspiring in the name of teachers and students to play a silent and dangerous game. Shen Muchen is a sharp inducement and an inadvertent provocateur, but at the moment when the relationship crosses the line, he is enveloped in Lin Duzhou's affection and sinks step by step.
As for Lin Duzhou, he was a closet, a father, a silent middle-aged scholar, but he was also the one who lost control while running on a snowy night. He knew that this love was chaos and destruction, but he was still willing to bear the silence and guilt, pouring all his emotions into the young man who seemed to wake up his whole life like a spring thunder.
This is a psychological purgatory about love and pain, taboo and awakening.
They fell in love in the critical situation, sank in the transgression, and awakened in the struggle.
And all escapes will eventually lead to a more violent echo.
