share time: 2025-11-27 06:02:05

Su Mingyue, a top investment banker who has followed the "elite first" rule for 20 years, stumbles into a shabby old bookstore at the alley—its owner Chen Mo wears a hoodie with holes to feed stray cats, gives his last bowl of porridge to the homeless, and even wraps her lost diamond brooch in tissue paper carefully. This man, "living like a weed in the gutter", makes her want to break her mother's teachings of "being a morning glory climbing to the moon" for the first time. But when her fiancé uses evidence of her垫付 funds for the project to force her into marriage, and Chen Mo suddenly disappears leaving only a note saying "I don't deserve you", Mingyue holds the glass marble he gave her (with her childhood moon drawing inside) and realizes: The so-called "Mingyue won't shine on the gutter" was just her fear of admitting—she had long become the moon shining on the gutter. This time, she's going to break her "elite shell" and chase the light to find her "gutter".
