"She fell in love with the coldest man in Oxford, only to find out he was just too cold."
Ji Yunzhao fell in love with Pei Shiyi in his first class at Oxford Business School - his bones were clear and as cold as an ice sculpture. She took the initiative to sit next to him, but when her WeChat request was rejected, she tripped over her schoolbag strap and fell into his arms. He said, "This stumble happened at the right time."
Later she discovered that he was not just cold. He is the grandson of the Pei family who is overwhelmed by the expectations of his family. He is the boy whose father tore up his forensic medicine book. He is the person who stands on the balcony on New Year's Eve but cannot say "I am happy".
From the window seat in the old library to the Alpine ski trails, from Fangting Dongmei to London train station, she accompanied him through every step. The dark gray scarf that she never returned became the longest promise between the two of them.
But when ideals and reality are torn apart - on one side is the unjust criminal case, on the other side is the shaky family foundation, he is caught in a dilemma. She stood up and stepped into the situation as an equal to a wealthy family's daughter to hold up the sky for him.
Small Theater
Pei Shiyi: "You owe me this scarf for a whole winter. How long do you want to owe it to me?"
Ji Yunzhao: "The longer the better."
"That's a lifetime?"
"... Hmm."
Intention: Under the shackles of the world, keep your own burning heart.
