Wen Shiqian's entire youth was spent chasing a beam of light - Shen Yanzhou, the young photographer who left a silent silhouette by the window of A's studio. In order to get closer to him and the world of light and shadow he represented, she, who had excellent grades, made an astonishing move: she dropped out of school on the eve of the college entrance examination, just to have full confidence in being admitted to the highly competitive photography department of A University. She carefully sealed this secret and grand emotion in time like a specimen.
When she finally stepped onto the campus of University A, Shen Yanzhou was approaching graduation. Fate always seems to pass them by. Until a cruise ship sailed into the mysterious "Glass Sea" in the windless zone of 30° north latitude, Wen Shiqian mustered up the courage to plan a seemingly accidental reunion.
In the Asperia's luxurious restaurant, Wen Shiqian tried hard to play the role of a first acquaintance. Under Shen Yanzhou's gentle gaze, it seemed that he had already seen through the flaws she had carefully concealed.
The story slowly unfolds as they get along on the cruise ship, with the chase in the past intertwined with the reunion at the present moment. What Wen Shiqian needs to face is no longer one-sided admiration, but the real Shen Yanzhou and his own feelings that have accumulated for many years. Under Shen Yanzhou's calm appearance, there is also an unspoken past and confusion about the future.
On this "sea of glass" that symbolizes frozen time, can two souls who have paid a huge price for their dreams break the specimen-like silence and truly see each other? This is a journey of growth about bravely chasing dreams, cherishing original intentions, and how secret love finally receives a gentle response. When there is no wind and the tide surges, those deep-seated emotions and dreams will eventually find their own channel.
Purpose: I hope everyone can find their own solace in troubled times.
