A gunshot on Christmas Eve in London eight years ago separated Shen Yu from his beloved, Lin Zhiyi. For the next eight years, he remained trapped in a prison of memories, barely clinging to life amid the gloom of depression as he used AI technology to recreate a virtual version of her.
Eight years later, the amnesiac Lin Zhiyi is reborn as Su Nian, a celebrated painter, and comes to Shanghai for a project called "The Perfect World in Memory." Familiar scenes in her paintings unexpectedly expose the obsession Shen Yu has buried for eight years. Meanwhile, her partner of eight years, Gu Che, has long kept her under his protective wing, concealing the sweet past she shared with Shen Yu.
When Su Nian unexpectedly enters the old house filled with memories of her first love and touches the traces of her childhood, her forgotten memories begin to stir. On one side is Gu Che's tender, unwavering protection over the past eight years; on the other is Shen Yu's deep love and obsession, spanning life and death. Standing at the crossroads of memory, what will Su Nian choose?
In this eight-year collision of mismatched timelines, love intertwines with regret, and memory clashes with reality. Can they find the happy ending meant for them in the shattered past?
