This is not a spectacular love at first sight, but a narrow encounter in the adult world after weighing the pros and cons.
Su Wan came from an ordinary background, and relied on her own efforts to gain a foothold in the city step by step. She was used to seeing the warmth and warmth of people, and she had long understood that the world was never an exchange of equal value. At an involuntary thank-you dinner within the system, she accidentally broke into the circle with layers of barriers and met Lu Shiyan.
He stands at the top of the hierarchy, is calm and self-possessed, and is used to weighing the pros and cons. He is surrounded by the alienation and palace that have been infiltrated over the years. He will not abandon his principles for anyone, let alone risk his own life. For him, love is just one of many variables, always ranking behind his future, family, and responsibilities.
There is an invisible gulf between them.
The gap in family status, the comments of others, the invisible selection of the family, and countless regulations in reality follow one after another.
There were moments of tenderness and vulnerability exposed late at night, but underneath the sweetness there was sober calculation everywhere. While Su Wan was greedy for that rare bit of warmth, she was always aware of the reality; Lu Shiyan could provide her with protection and preferential treatment, but he could never break the inherent rules for her.
There is no fairy tale consummation here.
Some people are trapped in identity, while others are defeated by reality.
The enthusiasm eventually returns to silence, and affectionate surrender to the secular world.
After walking into this gilded siege, one can clearly see the desolation and coldness inside. All the heartbeats will eventually be slowly consumed in the depth of reality.
Intention: Emotions in the power circle are always attached to real interests. The male protagonist is part of a deeply rooted family system, and his marriage, social life, and life path have long been planned by the family. He can be tempted and pity, but this love is of very little weight and will always come after official career, family reputation, and the expectations of his elders. The temptation is true, and the weighing is also true. He will not overturn his life for the heroine. This is human nature, not pure good or evil.
