Lin Wanzhi lived for twenty-eight years and has always been "accommodating". In the design institute, there is a good old man who works hard and never complains. When his credit is robbed and blamed, he just holds his pen and lowers his head in silence. In her native family, she is the elder sister who always takes the blame. When her younger brother gets into trouble and her mother is partial, she always grits her teeth and swallows her grievances. Her boyfriend of three years thinks she is not sensible or considerate enough, so she gives in step by step and lives her life to be what he likes.
It wasn't until she took over the old alley renovation project that she met Shen Yan.
The man is recognized as a master of structure in the industry. He is cold, restrained and inhumane, but he has a special regard for her design concept. He never said "I'll help you." He would only silently hand over the reinforcement plan when she was squatting at the construction site guarding the bluestone flower bed and refused to dismantle it; when she was blamed by her colleagues and couldn't explain anything, he would provide key evidence to stabilize the situation. What he admired was never her meekness and sensibleness, but her obsession with design and her appreciation of fireworks hidden beneath her soft temperament.
From Qingshiban Alley to the thousand-year-old ancient town, from meeting under the eaves to walking side by side, Lin Wanzhi slowly woke up. She forced herself to take credit from her colleagues, drew a clear line between blood-sucking family ties, kicked out the emotions that consumed her, and no longer wronged herself for anyone.
When the triple blow of plan leaks, online loan extortion, and public rumors came one after another, she no longer compromised and begged for mercy like before. Instead, she used evidence to turn over the situation step by step, clear her name, and stick to the original intention of the project.
Some people say she has changed and become inhumane. But only Shen Yan knew that she had finally lived her life - like the evening breeze in the alley, not accommodating the high walls or the lights, but moving forward calmly in the direction of her heart. And he is willing to be the eternal night, accompany the wind, walk through an alley of fireworks, and watch the stars on his shoulders.
Purpose: There is no need to consume yourself in order to cater to the world. True maturity is to be kind to yourself and keep your boundaries.
