"In the deepest darkness, we hear each other's frequencies."
Rou Fan grew up in a dilapidated fishing town, and the calluses on the guitar strings were more familiar to her fingers than the textbooks. The creditors of the gambler's father, Rou Mingzhu, have been knocking on the door of their house all year round. Her mother, Yu Cangyue, finally decided to divorce and remarry Meng Kuoshan from the famous Meng family. Rou Fan was forced to leave the sea, step into the bustling city, and become an "alien" in an aristocratic school.
Lu Zhixing is the proud son of this school, and he is also a gloomy and alienated iceberg in the eyes of everyone. As the son of Meng Kuoshan's ex-wife, he has already learned to arm himself with indifference. When Rou Fan passed him by in her white school uniform, he thought she was just another "stepsister" that he needed to endure.
A forced collaboration in a music class tore apart the barrier between the two. Lu Zhixing discovered that this taciturn girl from a fishing village had the sound of waves flowing between her fingers that made his heart palpitate; Rou Fan understood the same loneliness as his own in the piano sound of this unruly young man.
However, the reality is far sharper than the strings - the pressure of marriage between the Lu family and the Wen family, the malicious entanglement of Rou Fan's biological father, the undercurrent of campus bullying, and the fact that they are afraid to admit: when two broken lives redeem each other, the wounds will be exposed to the sun.
"You want to tame the sea, and I want to escape from the golden cage. Maybe our encounter was a stranding."
When Rou Fan decided to return to the fishing town, and when Lu Zhixing played the song written for her at the station, the two people who were accustomed to silence finally understood: the real whale fall is not the sinking, but the rebirth of an entire ecosystem with flesh and blood.
