Lin Xiaoman and Chen Mo were each other's light in high school, vowing to attend the same university. But Chen Mo suddenly disappeared before the college entrance exam, leaving her sobbing alone on the playground until dawn. A decade later, Xiaoman, now a senior architect at a design institute, is stunned to find that the liaison for her old town renovation project is none other than Chen Mo—now a returnee structural engineer in a sharp suit. She wears her boyfriend’s engagement ring, his phone lock screen displays his fiancée’s wedding photo, yet the moment their eyes meet, the unspoken truths from years ago—"My mom was in end-stage uremia, I couldn’t bear to burden you" and "I applied to your university"—linger as an unshakable silence in their coffee cups. When the project threatens to demolish the old classroom they once sketched together, and when Chen Mo’s design plans hide their old promise, they’re forced to confront: the unhealed wounds of their first love, or the lives they’ve already built?
