Just a numb woman who job-hunts day after day, and a poor student who can't afford tuition.
He was still eight hundred yuan short of his tuition.
Numb Woman: Ever heard of student loans?
She thought they wouldn't meet again, so the numb woman didn't even ask the poor student his name.
One winter day,
the numb woman, now employed, had evolved into a fake extrovert.
At a coffee shop beside an office building, she ran into the same poor student, who was still poor.
She was different from everyone else.
The poor student fell for her at first sight.
But even after getting her contact information, he didn't dare bother her,
didn't dare reveal his filthy thoughts.
The poor student kept his distance from the dazzling woman, not too close and not too far,
lying low for a long time until he finally got his chance.
But the kiss that came left him feeling as if he'd fallen into an icy abyss.
The numb woman evolved into a seasoned professional.
At the same time, a chat window that had been silent for two years popped up.
They met again. "Hello, sis."
His persistence finally made the numb woman's heart flutter.
Seeing his sister again was really hard.
But the moment he sent that message,
he saw a panic on her face he'd never seen before.
Even if it vanished in an instant, it was worth it.
He wanted to discover every side of her he had never seen before.
The numb woman, not yet fallen: You're standing too close... We should keep our distance...
The numb woman, fallen, with a sliver of reason left: Stop secretly using my scented body wash...

The female lead has a stern face, but inside she's a thoughtless b-king.
The female lead's career rises steadily according to plan; the male lead's shoots straight up.
Later, the male lead will keep vacillating between having a green tea personality and being like vodka.
