The close friends who had once been inseparable in high school gradually drifted apart as they grew up. The realities of life wore away the ideals and beliefs of their youth, and they buried their original aspirations at the end of those years. They became the very kind of adults they had once hated, living lives that went around in circles like a broken record.
Gu Xi became creative executive director at a world-class PR firm, a high-earning white-collar professional dressed in luxurious European designer brands and pursued by a foreign gentleman. By all appearances, her life was a success that countless people envied. But even a life like hers came with many things beyond her control and many helpless compromises. She thought this was what the world was like after growing up.
A reunion at a party with Xiang Yule, a high school friend, awakened memories of her youth. Those old yet vivid recollections made her feel nostalgic, as if they had brought lively color to her black-and-white life. Not long afterward, she received an invitation from another old friend, Qin Feng, asking her to attend their high school's anniversary celebration...
She thought it would be a pleasant trip down memory lane. But on the day of the celebration, she learned that Qin Feng had died two years earlier: a sudden leap from a building, with no suicide note, no last words, and no one who knew why.
Their old friends gathered again, and their friendships, romances, and lives would all be reshuffled.
