Zhong Weiliang and Jiang Huan grew up together. They promised to depend on each other and never part, but when Jiang Huan was nine, he suddenly agreed to be adopted.
Zhong Weiliang was abandoned once again.
The day Jiang Huan left, she didn't go to see him off and swore she would never speak to him again.
Sixteen years later, Zhong Weiliang goes on a photography trip in the wilderness and comes across a man who has fallen into a deep pit in a remote primeval forest and is waiting to be rescued.
The man is in a sorry state, covered in dirt, but beneath the trees his lazy face is handsome and composed.
Zhong Weiliang suddenly remembers a night from many years ago.
She was six that year, and had accidentally fallen into a filthy, muddy ditch. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't climb out. Just when she was losing hope, a little boy suddenly leaned over the ditch and held out his hand. "Take my hand."

They're not pitiful. They have each other.
Toxic childhood friends / toxic childhood sweethearts / one disagreement and they're in bed / each one's mission is to ruin the other's chances with anyone else / can't stand seeing the other happy / especially can't stand anyone else touching them / I'm the only one allowed to bully you
