Su Nian has been wandering all year round, hiding a deep lack in her heart. She spent all her time longing for a pair of eyes that would never move away and accept her unconditionally, the eternal observer that only existed in her heart. She didn't recognize the way to look inward, so she could only keep looking for a substitute outside.
While renting houses in Guiyang, she met her landlord Chen Jingsong. It's rare that someone is willing to calm down and listen to the scars she has experienced along the way without judging. Being rarely seen for a long time made her gradually project all her expectations on this married man.
The two men crossed the border and were together briefly. She thought she had finally caught the certainty she had longed for. But mortals are just mortals after all, and everyone is an actor on the stage. No one can steadily catch another person's heavy lack forever.
A burst of enthusiasm followed by a long, tearing disillusionment. In the repeated painful pull, Su Nian finally realized that no one can be her eternal audience. The seal used to ask for recognition can only be taken back by yourself and cannot be handed over to anyone else.
This is not a love story. Just a man in need, a trial that he had to go through personally. Only when you actually get it, and then watch it break, will you give up and stop asking for it.
