Synopsis
The story begins in the rainy southern city of Qingyi. Xu Zhi, known as the "dark horse of Ruijun," meets Chen Luzhou, the "barely-passed top scorer." Due to a misunderstanding, the story between the tough girl "Zhi Zong" and the "Poet Chen" begins. During their playful and teasing interactions, the ambiguous atmosphere intensifies, leading to a "tug-of-war" of emotions. Unfortunately, reality presses the pause button on their fate when Chen Luzhou is sent abroad to study, while Xu Zhi fulfills her dream of going to Beijing to study architecture. The two, who were both eager to be together, find themselves separated by distance.
However, an accident shifts the gears of destiny, and Chen Luzhou decides to give up his studies abroad and return to China, enrolling in the same university as Xu Zhi. After their long separation, Chen Luzhou faces his true feelings and bravely and passionately chases after his "ex-girlfriend" Xu Zhi. From then on, they heal and protect each other, falling into an everlasting love that never fades.

You have succeeded in guiding me passionately in love
It is surprising to find a gold chain amid the tree branches while looking for the thin necklace, but what is more surprising is that a plain Jane has found her prince following the voice of a female that sounds like her late mom.
A good drama of teenager romance that keeps luring your old man to reach Episode 11. More will be reported here later.
The most talked-about aspect of this drama is the use of camera angles to avoid actual kissing scenes. It’s understood that in the original novel, the female lead is a very affectionate person who loves kissing, yet the series never shows the male and female leads truly kissing. Instead, it cuts to shots of shadows on walls or leaves outside, greatly affecting the viewer experience and making it seem uninteresting. However, why did the show opt for these camera tricks? Was there any specific reason behind it? The production side has not provided a direct explanation as of yet.
For youth romance dramas, a sense of youthfulness and ambiguous atmosphere are indispensable. Liu Haocun and Wang Anyu’s interactions in the drama, though often unconventional and even humorous, create a good push-and-pull effect and an ambiguous atmosphere at crucial moments. In particular, their eye contact brings audiences a full sense of excitement, with a strong chemical reaction!
There are many funny and ambiguous plots in the drama, but there is also some pain in the family for both of them. Wang Anyu’s crying scenes have always been well-received, especially when his entire eye socket turns red, giving a strong sense of brokenness that makes the audience feel heartache; although Liu Haocun has fewer crying scenes in this drama, she also performs very naturally with big tears, making the audience feel reluctant to part with her as well. The emotional expressions of the two in the drama also add points to the show.
In fact, Liu Haocun and Wang Anyu are both very good-looking and are very young. However, the filters in the first few episodes of the play are obviously too heavy, which makes them a little too white and bright, and instead weakens the advantages of the two actors. However, the later filters of the show seem to have improved, and it seems to be less heavy than the previous episodes.
Recently, many dramas have been concluded with a BE (Bad Ending), which makes many people hurt and even feel tired of this ending method. But if you have watched the finale of this drama, you will know that the show is not only with an HE (happy ending), but also is sweet! After experiencing misunderstandings and being separated by two places, Xu Zhi and Chen Luzhou finally achieved their goal. Moreover, Chen Luzhou had planned to propose to Xu Zhi very early; as for Xu Zhi, she also sent a building model to Chen Luzhou as a gift, hinting that they would build a future together. The two love each other deeply and heal each other, and the proposal plot is even more romantic and touching, which makes the audience very satisfied.
Liu Haocun plays Xu Zhi in the drama, a girl who speaks very straightforward, smart and hardworking. Her performance this time was praised as “The Chosen Xu Zhi” and interprets her characteristics very accurately; Wang Anyu’s role this time is Chen Luzhou, who has a little melancholy temperament, “pretentious” and arrogant, and his acting skills are also recognized. Whether it is the delicate eyes or a sense of fragility, they have successfully impressed the audience.
