Lin Ran doesn't believe in love.
She believes that as long as she is independent and rational enough, she can live within a carefully calculated, stable and safe life framework.
Until rumors in the workplace nailed her to the pillar of shame;
Until, in a travel accident, her rationality puts her and the people around her at risk of death;
Until the torrent of industry layoffs hit, and her colleagues stood on the edge of the rooftop;
She finally understood that the so-called "stability" could disappear at any time.
However, in these darkest moments, there is always that one person.
His hand would slowly go down her hair and stop on her back. He didn't hug her, he just patted her gently and then again through the fabric of her clothes. The rhythm is slow, but it will help her find her breath.
"I'm here."
Lin Ran didn't say anything...
Original name [Rational Lover]
Intent: This work focuses on the emotional choices and growth process of urban adults in a realistic context. In an unstable family of origin and a high-pressure social environment, the protagonist is accustomed to protecting himself with rationality and self-restraint, but he also keeps a distance from intimate relationships. The story attempts to explore: when love no longer relies on passion and attachment, but needs to face responsibilities, boundaries and long-term shared risks, how can people build truly sustainable relationships? The work emphasizes respecting individual choices, equality and support in emotions, and expresses that "being chosen clearly and standing by your side stably" is the real sense of security in the adult world.
