A sudden rainstorm trapped the well-behaved programmer Lin Shen and the maverick designer Ren Ran under the roof of the same corner bakery. Lin Shen bought the last lemon tart that Ren Ran had longed for, and this little "competition" became a wedge in their fate. After the misunderstanding was resolved, Lin Shen's clumsy but sincere way of apologizing (he studied silently for a week, baked a crooked but sincere lemon tart and sent it to Ren Ran's company) unexpectedly opened Ren Ran's heart.
Ren Ran admired Lin Shen's simplicity and his ability to do what he said that was rare in the city. Lin Shen was deeply attracted by Ren Ran's freedom, sensitivity and delicacy. Like two complementary puzzle pieces, the two began a sweet urban romance. Lin Shen used his programmer-like logic and mobility to silently solve the small problems in Ren Ran's life; Ren Ran used her creativity and aesthetics to inject color into Lin Shen's somewhat monotonous life. Together they explore the small shops in the corners of the city, share each other's dreams and confusions, and build a warm nest in the busy urban jungle.
However, beneath the sweet icing, the glass of reality begins to show cracks. Lin Shen was involved in a workplace turmoil due to a heartfelt "unfair road", which even affected the progress of the project, making Ren Ran, who was accustomed to controlling risks, feel uneasy. Ren Ran's design concept of pursuing freedom of soul came into huge conflict with business needs. When the pressure doubled, Lin Shen's too direct "solution" made her feel that she was not understood. Lin Shen's simple family's expectations for "stability" and Ren Ran's "undefined" life plan have also quietly buried a gap in concepts. To make matters worse, Su Wan, a former colleague who Lin Shen had helped and had a crush on, used his kindness and sense of responsibility to create a carefully planned misunderstanding.
The foundation of trust is shaken by realistic pressure and deliberate provocation. After a fierce quarrel, the impulsive Lin Shen said "separate and calm down" against his will in anger, but the proud Ren Ran refused to turn around. Breaking up is like breaking the carefully crafted layer of glass frosting, and the sweetness is scattered all over the place, leaving only sharp shards. They were forced to grow up on their own tracks: Lin Shen learned to consider more consequences for his actions in addition to kindness, and learned to communicate more maturely; Ren Ran found a balance between pursuing herself and understanding others, and understood that pure freedom also requires an anchor of responsibility. When the two grown up meet again at a mutual friend's wedding, can the accumulated pain, unresolved love, and the edges they have polished allow them to pick up the pieces again, and bake a stronger and more real sweetness based on reality?
Purpose: To explore how, under the pressure of modern cities and individual differences, sincere and simple love undergoes misunderstandings, conflicts and self-growth, and finally takes root and grows in the soil of reality, proving that the power of true love lies in accepting imperfections and growing together, rather than escaping the fragile beauty of reality.
