Qiao You first heard "Autumn Light" in a restaurant one afternoon. Its warm, lovely melody reminded her of the ginkgo grove that autumn, and of the man beside her who had offered her a mint. A mask and sunglasses hid the man's face, so she couldn't make out his expression. But the taste of that mint stayed with her for a long time. The next time she heard that familiar melody was on a quiet summer night. In air filled with the fragrance of roses, piano music accompanied by her neighbor's hoarse, magnetic voice drifted through the courtyard between their two buildings, crossing the night sky and making her heart race. Later, the man silently packed up his camera gear and accompanied her into a plateau nature reserve, recording her dreams through his lens. After they rescued a white-lipped deer in an accident, the man stood beside her, quietly watching the deer they had saved disappear into the distance. The wind on the plateau was fierce, roaring past the herd and sweeping over the foot of the snow-covered mountains. The man looked at her. His handsome, composed face was framed by deep eyes reflecting the snow-capped mountains, the shape of the light, and her own figure. Then he suddenly lowered his head and leaned in to kiss her. -- Chu Yu regretted for a long time that he hadn't asked her name back then. Whenever he walked to the window, he would stop and watch the streetlights come on in the night, then fade as dawn broke. Crowds came and went, but the person he wanted to see was never among them. Thankfully, all that waiting had meaning. One day, amid the fragrance of roses in the air, he finally met her again. -- Before entering the world of fashion photography, the female lead was a renowned wilderness photographer. Before becoming a music producer, the male lead was the frontman of a famous band. This is the story of two people who have both hit rock bottom, meeting in the darkness and feeling their way toward a future and their dreams. · Theme: A story of healing and being healed, redemption and being redeemed.
