Nanhai No. 1 High School had a wisteria garden. Every morning, transfer student Shi Ning would read beneath the wisteria trellis. Her friends all said it was one of the school's most beautiful sights.

As an adult, Shi Ning lived in an unfamiliar city, moving from one rented apartment to another.

She had a little air fryer and used it to fry up a whole world. It was perfect for cooking meals for one. Shi Ning... was always alone.

Song Zhiyan had always been the child other people's parents wished they had: the heartthrob of Nanhai No. 1 High School, a renowned architectural designer, and a successful entrepreneur. But this year, he hit the lowest point of his life.

Ten years after graduation, Shi Ning returned to her alma mater, which she had not visited in years. Everything had changed, and all the buildings had been torn down and rebuilt. Only the sea of wisteria had been carefully preserved by a designer and transformed into a rooftop garden.

One day in early autumn, the struggling painter Shi Ning and the ailing Song Zhiyan reunited from afar through a Wi-Fi signal named "Nanhai No. 1 High School." Slowly, they came to know each other.

Song Zhiyan told her, "I used to think this was a futile story. The boy would bury his obsession in the garden forever."

Everything changed because of that chance encounter...
