On the Ginkgo Road of Donglin University, when Su Yao met Lu Yichen for the first time, the camera was facing him in the backlight. He is the much-anticipated photography club president, with stars hidden in his lens and frost between his brows; she is a beautiful freshman who has just entered the campus, with longing in her eyes, but she does not know that fate has already laid thorns.
Lin Yue's jealousy grew like a vine, separating the two with carefully woven lies. The old photos of Xu Qing's return, the replaced photography assignments, the malicious photos on the forum... Lu Yichen's trust collapsed in the misunderstanding, and the words "I really misjudged you" became an ice pick piercing Su Yao's heart.
When the truth pierced through the haze like the glimmer of dawn, Lu Yichen saw clearly how precious what he had pushed away with his own hands was. He began a long road to pursue his wife, waiting in the rainstorm, confessing before the sickbed, and her unique tenderness under the camera, but all he got was Su Yao's indifferent turning away - Chen Yu's protection had already taken root in her heart.
From the first time in the studio to the vows made in the wedding hall, in eight years, they stumbled in love and grew in pain. Those moments frozen by the shutter, including the breakup under the moonlight and the embrace among the thorns, eventually turned into the most profound confession in the years: it turns out that the end of the ultimate sadomasochism is the tenderness of a lifetime of atonement.
Purpose: Through the growth and transformation of Su Yao and Lu Yichen in emotional entanglements full of misunderstandings, jealousies and other tests, it shows the fragility and reconstruction of trust, the tempering of true love in hardships and the complexity of human nature, highlighting the importance of communication, understanding and persistence in the growth of youth.
