When her mother remarried to a wealthy family, Xie Yimei and her sister stepped into the cold Xie family mansion.
She changed her name and restrained all her edges. She just wanted to protect her sister safely and wait for the opportunity to escape from this gilded cage.
Only Xie Zhiyu, the aloof stepbrother, could see through all the forbearance and stubbornness beneath her disguise.
Separated by the awkward status of step-siblings, the two are wary of each other and test each other, and feelings that shouldn't arise arise in the day-to-day tug and pull.
The calculations of wealthy families, secular vision, and identity shackles trap them layer by layer.
Gardenias bloom in the hot summer, but the red rose named Xie Yimei eventually withers in the harsh winter.
It begins with meeting and ends with regret. It is a love that is destined to have no ending.
Purpose: Under the shackles of the world and the interests of wealthy families, it tells the story of a forbidden love that is restrained and forbearing, and explores the inability to control one's destiny, and how all passionate heartbeats cannot escape the regretful ending.
