"The Unlockable Echo"

A brass key locks the childhood deep in the old alley, and also binds the two-way journey spanning ten years. Wen Ruan stood under the spotlight and was a top actress who attracted much attention. The keychain with the word "Ruan" engraved around her neck was always rubbed repeatedly by her fingertips when no one was around - it was the last thing that the fourteen-year-old Huo Chengyan gave her before he left. The girl with crotch braids who always chased after him to perform in "Little Theater" never thought that they would meet again at the signing ceremony for the acquisition of her agency by Huo Group. He became her new boss, the most powerful person in Huo's multinational group. Wearing a suit and leather shoes, and with sharp eyes, the coolness of his youth has faded away, and he has gained a bit of ruthlessness tempered by the shopping mall. But when she shook hands, she touched the familiar scar on his tiger's mouth, as if she was struck by electricity - it was left when he helped her reach the kite. He recognized the keychain around her neck, and remembered that she loved to sing off-key children's songs when she was a child. She would calmly rescue her when she was being challenged by investors, and use her capital power to press the pause button when she was troubled by black drafts, but she insisted that she was "just protecting the company's assets." After he was drunk, she caught a glimpse of the yellowed childhood photo in his wallet. In the photo, she was wearing a braid and stuffing half a piece of rubber to the boy next to her who had a pout. The moment the old key turned the lock cylinder, the secrets hidden in the storage room of the old house poured out: all the discs of her works he had collected, the letters she had kept from his youth, and the truth about how he took the initiative to travel to a foreign country to protect her family. The barriers between wealthy families and the entertainment industry, family prejudices, and public opinion backlash have become new obstacles between the two. But this time, he was no longer a teenager forced to leave, and she was no longer a girl in need of shelter. He suspended the 100-billion-dollar project to protect her from the storm. She took home the Best Actress trophy and proved that "actors are never dependent." When the two keys engraved with "yan" and "ruan" are juxtaposed again, the chirping of cicadas in the old alley and the bright spotlight finally overlap - it turns out that all the waiting is just for this moment of walking side by side. This is a story about time, protection and growth. It contains the tender echoes of childhood sweethearts and also describes the pull and determination of adult love. Purpose: Using the bonds of childhood sweethearts as a thread, it explores how love and protection become a two-way force amidst class differences and growing pains as time goes by. It not only cherishes the pure original intention of childhood, but also celebrates the courage of adults to stick to themselves and achieve each other in front of the barriers of reality. The true bond is never one-sided protection, but the determination to still stand side by side in the light after being polished by the years.
