Qi Yu grows up withdrawn, deeply insecure, and unable to connect with the world around him. The one exception is his older neighbor Han Tiantian, whose warmth becomes the light in his otherwise lonely life. From then on, he quietly watches over her from the sidelines, secretly driving away her suitors and even skipping grades so he can get closer to her younger brother.

Qi Yu plans to confess after graduation, only to discover that Han Tiantian has started dating their classmate Zhou Nuo. His long-buried obsession finally surfaces, and he sets out to expose Zhou Nuo for the cheating scumbag he really is while steadily working his way into Tiantian's heart. Just when they finally come together, a misunderstanding tears them apart. Years later, Han Tiantian returns with their child, and Qi Yu is determined to win back the woman he has never stopped loving.
