Straightforward, stubborn fake heiress vs. easygoing, carefree actor (an unconventional second chance romance, with the male lead chasing his wife into a crematorium)
Teacher / writer vs. top-tier star | Wen Yuegui vs. Qin Hanyu (school life + modern city)
To those around her, Wen Yuegui was an honest, sensible good girl and a stable office worker. Her life followed a set routine, suited to a quiet existence and worlds apart from the thrill of going off the rails.
No one knew that in her youth, she had been a bystander to Qin Hanyu's passionate, all-consuming romance.
As both a bystander and their matchmaker, she ran errands and passed messages. She was insignificant.
But her secret crush on Qin Hanyu was her biggest secret and the farthest fork in the road from her ordinary life.

In college, her dream once came true.
Qin Hanyu suddenly confessed to her, and they got together.
She was like a child cupping a pool of moonlight in her hands, trembling as she held it and slowly drew near him, even when he kept her at arm's length.
She secretly overheard him speaking to a friend in a low voice, sounding utterly indifferent: "The old man told me to give her a try. He said she was better than anyone else. Now that I've tried, she's nothing special."
How could a reflection of flowers on water and moonlight in a mirror not shatter?
Not long afterward, everyone heard they had broken up, and no one was surprised.
Gentle and reserved, free-spirited and carefree: the two were always at odds, until they finally broke apart.

Then one day, beneath a faint moon and a soft drizzle, someone saw Qin Hanyu standing in the moonlight, trying to hold an umbrella over a girl and pull her close. His eyes were bloodshot with stubbornness. "Little Moon."
The girl flung him away. Her eyes were clear and cold as she slowly backed into the rain, crushing the scattered moonlight underfoot. Her tone was calm and firm. "Qin Hanyu, when I get caught in the rain, I'll only run forward. I won't turn back."

Years later, they met again. He had become a hugely popular award-winning actor, while she lived a quiet life.
The first words they exchanged were simply:
"Little Moon."
"Mr. Qin."
