Two years after they broke up, Zhang Yue tried to get back together with her ex-boyfriend five times, but was rejected five times.
For the sixth time, she participated in a love variety show. Program rules: Eight people live in the Heartbeat House together, including two couples. They remain anonymous throughout the whole process. No one knows who is whose ex.
Zhang Yue didn't expect to meet Chen Yan on her first day when she was most embarrassed. He nodded to her and said "hello" - as if they were meeting for the first time.
During the day, he pretended to be a stranger and was polite and considerate to other female guests. But at night she received an anonymous good night, a reminder to cool down, and two cups of black coffee in the gazebo, and she became increasingly uncertain: were these signals from him, or was she just being sentimental? Until an anonymous date day, she got a date in the poetry section of the library, and there were clues hidden on the cards that only she could decipher.
The rooftop is their negotiating table. She told him there that "people who only talk but don't do anything are the most disgusting", and she also heard him say "How about we start over".
This program made her see two things clearly: some people hide their love too deeply and need her to teach them how to express their love; some people push their love too fast and they need her to learn to say "no". And she herself - the person who had chased her five times but failed to catch her. This time, it was him who had to chase her.
Intention: Love is not about standing in front of the other person to block the wind, nor is it about following behind. Love is side by side - he learns to express it, she learns not to chase it, and both people can become better people in love.
