Beginning: Mo Lin, the male lead, has never had any friends because he has studied dan roles since childhood. His mother controls every part of his life, until his father uses a job transfer to take him to another city, where he begins to experience real life. That is how he meets the warmhearted and kind Su Shunqing, the female lead.
Development: Since Mo Lin and Su Shunqing’s fathers were college classmates and are now coworkers, Su Shunqing takes on the responsibility of looking after Mo Lin. But while doing everything she can to stand up for him, she ends up being ostracized by her classmates and friends.
Turning point: After they enter a private school, the two become aware of social class and begin to reflect on their choices, reality, youth, and confusion. They gradually drift apart.
Climax: Mo Lin’s mother passes away, and Su Shunqing’s father goes missing. The two set a common goal once more, but unexpected events are always just around the corner. Their investigation into the bridge collapse puts them in danger, forcing them to separate again.
Ending: They face the trials of fate and return to who they were at the beginning.
Theme: I hope that every child who feels lost can stay true to themselves, hold fast to their ideals, and find their own path when facing hardship.
