Lu Huochen is an agent of the secret agency of country A. He has only one mission: to sneak into the No. 1 Middle School of the Guard City of country B, get close to the target person Han Shiyi, and track down the strategic secrets in the hands of the defector Xie Dian.
But he didn't expect that a campus death case three years ago would drag him into a deeper quagmire.
——An Xue fell from the rooftop of the teaching building, which was officially classified as suicide due to bullying. As the investigation deepens, he discovers that An Xue's death involves a drug trafficking network spanning the two countries, and the roots of this drug network are rooted in his own past.
What made him lose control even more was one person - Ningling. The bartender, the second-in-command of the student union, looked lazy and indifferent on the surface, but every time he approached, he took half a step back and stayed half a step back. They are suspicious of each other, but they are close to each other.
A person who grew up in the ruins, and a person who protects the last light in the ruins. They both think they are not worthy of love, but they use each other's hope to complete redemption.
The case is the shell, the characters are the bones, and the two timelines are secretly entangled—how the past shapes the present, and how pain turns into armor. When the curtain opened and the truth and emotions surfaced at the same time, they discovered: no one is the audience in this play.
Purpose: How the trauma of the original family shapes a person's way of facing love and trust. An agent who thinks he "doesn't deserve to live" and a boy who protects himself by "not caring" see similar people in each other and learn to be "loved" in their own clumsy ways. At the same time, we explore: When the truth is concealed by power, how do ordinary people use their tiny persistence to pry the closed door open?
