At the End of the Year, You Will Be Wise

The core setting of "As the year goes by and the light shines brighter" Chen Yan, 32 years old, is the manager of an independent bookstore. He has an introverted and gentle personality, and is used to folding his emotions into pages of books and old objects. After breaking up with her ex five years ago due to family changes, she turned herself into a quiet island. She seemed calm, but in fact she had a deep-rooted fear of intimacy. Zhou Xubai, 34 years old, architectural designer. On the outside, he is a vigorous and resolute professional elite, but on the inside, he is emotionally dulled by long-term high pressure and alienation from his family of origin. He is good at building sophisticated architectural structures, but he doesn't know how to build his own order of life. The two met through collaboration on a used bookstore renovation project. From the initial business-related alienation, to the countless late nights of overtime work and the trivial daily life of repairing in the bookstore, we gradually glimpsed the softness and cracks under each other's hard shells.
