Story

Dong Yi attended a university name Hui Jie Movie Academy along with Xu Shanshan, Cheng Xiaoshi, Lu Guang, and Qiao Ling.
While spending time together, Xu Shanshan and Dong Yi develop feelings for one another, though they never openly express them. Though his parents urged him to return home after graduating university, he chose to pursue a postgraduate degree in order to stay with Xu Shanshan longer. Yet, when that also comes to an end, he realizes that he wishes to stay no matter the challenges, because the idea of leaving Xu Shanshan felt more painful than anything else.

After their postgraduate party, Dong Yi confesses these feelings to Xu Shanshan and invites her to accompany him to an interview in 2 days. However, Xu Shanshan, in her drunken state, does not hear what he says.

The next day, Xu Shanshan, afraid to ask Dong Yi directly, comes to the Time Photo Studio for help figuring out what Dong Yi said. Though Lu Guang successfully extracts Dong Yi's words, unexpected complications in the photo result in her appearing on an exaggerated news article, which catches the attention of the culprit behind an ongoing serial killing case, Liu Min, who, seeing Xu Shanshan as someone who opposes him, asks the special ability user Li Tianchen to dispose of her.
