Love More

Accomplished, successful actress × insecure younger mute painter

/

Qiu Qianshu grew up surrounded by love. She has plenty of it, and naturally knows how to love others.

Her neighbor Jiang Shizhou is her opposite: a mute who can't speak, a beautiful but empty vase starved of love.

Qiu Qianshu likes Jiang Shizhou.

She also knows he's stubborn, cold, and not what he seems.

In the blazing heat of midsummer, inside the studio,

she lies on the sofa and offers to be the genius painter's model.

As the light and shadows sway, she suddenly asks him to be her boyfriend.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

Years after they broke up, they meet again.

By then, Qiu Qianshu is a hugely popular, acclaimed actress, her face seen everywhere on billboards.

And the painter who shot to fame at a young age is now selling his paintings at a night market.

She invites him to her studio.

Among all the photographs and trophies, an unsigned painting stands out.

Qiu Qianshu points to it and asks him, "Do you think you've improved since before?"

Jiang Shizhou says nothing.

One day, Jiang Shizhou pushes himself until he's barely alive, then begs Qiu Qianshu to take him home.

He can hardly stand, yet clings stubbornly to her clothes,

pleading with her to be his model one more time.

Qiu Qianshu claims the new portrait as her own.

Unhappy that the painting shows only her, she adds a stick figure named "Jiang Shizhou."

Then she snaps a photo and posts it online,

putting their names side by side on the trending list.
