Masked encounter
Wen Ying, a graduate student in the Department of Chinese Studies, mistakenly poured red wine on sponsor Yang Rui at a literary salon, but the rumored playboy resolved the embarrassment with humor. When they were sent home in the rain, the two discovered that they actually liked the same unpopular writer, and the gears of fate began to turn.
Double life
Wen Ying gradually discovered the other side of Yang Rui's cynical appearance: he would stay up all night to sort out the documents she needed, push a cart three kilometers to send her back to school on a rainy night, but he would never say anything about his efforts. When she saw him crying alone in front of his mother's grave, she realized that this man's reputation as a prodigal was nothing more than protective.
The Sorrow of Redemption
When Wen Ying's hometown was hit by a flood, Yang Rui risked his life to rescue her grandmother; when she was challenged by academic opponents, he used all his connections to clear her name. But when the Yang family's business crisis requires marriage, what Wen Ying sees is the business information on her hometown handicraft factory in his computer - turns out that all tenderness is a carefully designed lie?
Running in the opposite direction
Behind the truth lies a deeper truth. When the genetic disease diagnosis certificate slipped from Yang Rui's pocket, Wen Ying understood the real reason why he pushed her away. In his last days, he forced his sick body to organize academic materials for the next ten years for her, while she tore up the admission notice from a prestigious school and chose to accompany him on his final journey.
Eternal echo
Three years later, Wen Ying stood on the international podium, wearing the wedding ring that was too late to give away. The literary foundation she founded has helped countless young people, just like the man who held an umbrella for her on a rainy night, which forever changed the trajectory of her life.
