Cool, aloof, and indifferent older woman x passionate, clingy, stubborn younger woman
Mu Yunfan accidentally attracts the attention of a young woman at the lesbian bar where she works. She looks innocent, but acts like a shameless flirt, teasing her lightly and awkwardly under the influence of alcohol.
But she has no courage to follow through.
Mu Yunfan isn't interested in kids, so she takes matters into her own hands and uses a little trick to scare the girl into fleeing.
The next time they meet, though, she discovers that the girl is her best friend's student, a “problem student” who skips class, talks back to teachers, and treats rules as meaningless.
Mu Yunfan doesn't want to get any more involved with her, but then she sees the girl quietly drinking herself senseless beneath the bar, with bruises on her arm from being beaten by her family. Her heart softens.
She gives the girl half her home as a place to study. On many sunny afternoons, they curl up together at a desk, going over problems and reading books. When they're tired, they snuggle close and listen to the songs Mu Yunfan has just written.
Mu Yunfan thinks they'll keep things this way until the girl finishes her college entrance exams. Then one night, the usually well-behaved girl leans softly over her and bites her, her breath thick with alcohol.

Rui Yu has been stubborn since childhood, stubborn enough to hold onto a burning fury and play the underachiever for years, abandoning her dreams and future.
Until she meets a ray of light as she spirals downward on her eighteenth birthday...
She gives Mu Yunfan everything she wants. For the first time, she gives her heart to someone, believing she has found the true love fate has sent her. But that night, neither of them knows who made the first move. After their uninhibited night of pleasure, the usually gentle older woman takes back the key she gave her, vanishes without a word, and never sees her again.
Over the four years apart, through more than a thousand days and nights, Rui Yu plots an emotional revenge in the distant capital.
Didn't she enjoy playing with her feelings? She'll make her Mu-jie understand how awful it feels to be deceived. She'll make her suffer, too!
But when the person she's dreamed of taking revenge on is finally trembling in her arms, eyes glistening with tears, all she feels is something else...
The heroine is not purely good-hearted and has serious flaws. The ending is sweet.
