Synopsis

Lin Beixing, an "experienced woman" who is about to enter her thirties, missed out on achieving her dream of love as her boyfriend, Zhan Yu, broke up with her, and her life and work have become a mess. However, unsure if this is God playing tricks on her, Lin Beixing suddenly finds herself back at the age of eighteen. The third year of high school is a nightmare, but Lin Beixing decides to retake the college entrance examination and start anew for herself, without Zhan Yu. However, Lin Beixing's sweet dream is shattered by a boy named Zhang Wansen. The accidental encounter with Zhang Wansen after the college entrance examination becomes the catalyst to end Lin Beixing's time and space journey. Lin Beixing begins to investigate the cause of Zhang Wansen's death and embarks on a difficult journey to save him. The days in high school are filled with romance but fleeting, and Lin Beixing's changes allows her to reap the beautiful moments that she had once overlooked. With the arrival of summer, Lin Beixing realizes that she not only saved Zhang Wansen, but also saved the boy's love for her since their youth, a love that is deeper than the sea.
