Features: There is a kind of love that only blooms in the innocent season. That heart, determined and unwavering, longs to run away with the lover. There is a kind of memory that, when you are still young and full of vitality, makes you unable to help but sigh. There is a kind of love that is like a moth flying headlong into a flame. The love in the heart has long turned to ashes in a series of smokeless battles.
Milan, who grew up in Nanjing, and Yuan Liangliang, who grew up in Beijing, are like two plants: Bamboo and Cactus. Facing real life, both Milan and Yuan Liangliang are girls with distinct personalities. However, Milan's strength lies deep within her, like bamboo—soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Yuan Liangliang's strength, on the other hand, is outwardly expressed, like a cactus, covered in thorns but fragile inside. Especially in matters of the heart, Milan first captures a man with tenderness, then, once he is completely in love with her, uses love to control him. Yuan Liangliang, however, is like a paper tiger. Her greatest goal is to find a man to marry. But her outward toughness always scares men away from the start, and no one truly sees her inner world.
But in the end, neither Milan's gentleness nor Yuan Liangliang's toughness could hold onto the man they loved.
