[A clear-eyed freelance screenwriter x a cold, world-weary movie star]
As a girl, Jiang Wan dreamed of romance, and once dreamed about Yan Jinzhao, the handsome, popular boy at her high school.
Dreams could be outlandish. That was normal. She watched him, surrounded by applause and cheers from the entire school, with mild interest, then casually walked past as a girl confessed her feelings to him.
Her starry-eyed deskmate said, "He's so handsome and sweet. He lent me his school uniform to deal with my period. I'm in love!"
Jiang Wan: "He was just doing it without thinking."
As an adult, Jiang Wan met Yan Jinzhao again, now a movie star. Looking back, she realized she'd overlooked the stirrings of young love.
She swirled her wineglass, leaned in to kiss him, and had Yan Jinzhao act out ten thousand moments of falling in love with her.
In a philosophical discussion about Schopenhauer, she told him she missed him;
On a crowded New Year's Eve, he said, "Jiang Wan, let's give us a try."
Later, Jiang Wan told Yan Jinzhao a story as a parting gift when they broke up.
A slow-burn, slice-of-life sweet romance.
Life is a journey through wind and rain, and we swim upstream in the river called love.
Theme: Love exists in this world.
