In the cold and dazzling Linzhou, wealth masks indifference, and emotions are clearly marked with a price. As an unrecognized illegitimate son of the Zhang family, Zhang Yichen has lived in the shadow of "orthodoxy" since childhood. He has been ignored and rejected, and has become accustomed to a life of no choice. It wasn't until college that he met Gu Shenchen - that calm, powerful, and always aloof being. Zhang Yichen poured all his heart and soul into him, handing over his admiration, desire and hope of being seen, but only received more complete disregard.
After being expelled from his family, he struggled to survive alone, clinging to his remaining dignity, exhausted little by little by exhaustion and hopeless feelings. Until an accident happened and he left with his only regret - he had never been chosen.
But fate gave him a second chance.
Going back to two years ago, Zhang Yichen is no longer obsessed with that relationship that was destined to be fruitless. He left the Zhang family and settled in an inconspicuous cafe. He began to learn to live alone, learn not to rely on, not to expect, and no longer to wait for anyone's eyes.
When Gu Shenchen walked into his world again, everything quietly changed. The once docile and forbearing young man no longer exists, replaced by Zhang Yichen, who is cold, restrained, and difficult to approach. The sense of existence that had been ignored became clear after disappearing.
From the initial attention, to the gradual concern, to the obsession that could not be ignored and the belated guilt - Gu Shencheng finally realized that he had missed something.
But when he turned around, he discovered——
Some people, once lost, can never go back to where they started.
