Shen Yan was once a talented jewelry designer known as the "Hand of the Stars". Three years ago, a strange fire took away half of the perfection of his face and burned away his trust in the world. Today, he is a mean tattoo artist who uses sharp words to live like an island.
Gu Heng is a well-respected trauma psychiatrist who moved his clinic above Shen Yan's studio. Everyone was afraid of the scars on Shen Yan's face and the thorns in his mouth. Only Gu Heng saw through the unquenched artistic flame and deep-buried pain under the scars.
"Those who come close to me have only two endings: being burned by me, or extinguishing me." Shen Yan warned.
Gu Heng responded calmly: "I am the third type - I want to see if I can grow roses from your ashes."
As a result, a contract that began with "scar psychological research" was quietly established. Shen Yan provided his anger and trauma as a "sample", and Gu Heng provided drugs and companionship as an "exchange". In this transaction where each gets what he wants, it no longer matters who is sincere first and who sees the softness under the other's armor first.
When the old nightmare comes back, Shen Yan finally learns not to bite the wounds alone, but to hold the hand that is always warm beside him;
When tenderness is misunderstood as compassion, Gu Heng uses professionalism and restraint to prove that true love does not cover scars, but makes scars become the intertwined lines of each other's lives.
From "a broken painting kissed by fire" to "the art of rebirth", from "the observation of a professional doctor" to "the only lover in this life", they walked together on a road full of glass fragments and thorns. The end of the road was not who saved the other, but two scarred souls who finally found the only other piece that could be combined with themselves to be complete.
Intention: A complete embrace grows out of each other's imperfections.
