[Growth-oriented heroine / three-year age gap / love at first sight and carefully planned from the start]

Southern China, 2005.

Lin Zhenyi experiences a warm winter for the first time. Listening to the lively commotion downstairs from her rented room, she recalls her parents' instructions before she left and considers how to make a life for herself in this city.

She wanders around nearby like a headless fly, then remembers the advice from the owner of the corner shop: "There's a landlord nearby with the surname Zhou. He's pretty easy to talk to."

Lin Zhenyi finds the tallest apartment building and sees a tall, upright figure downstairs. She never expects that one day, the image of him will be clearly etched in her heart.

Zhou Yu grew up in this city and naturally learned the local language. The cultural differences around him create an invisible barrier. He fits in here, yet feels no sense of belonging.

The neighbors' most common opinion of him is that he has money but no heart.

But later, he realizes he can't leave this place.

-

Their first meeting: a tenant and her landlord's son.

Their next meeting: Zhou Yu rescues Lin Zhenyi from a difficult situation.

In the end, the turning wheels of the times bring fate to make two parallel lines cross.
