You Are Desire

After her parents divorced, Lin Yu Jing (Zhuang Da Fei) and her father moved to a new city. Though she was a bit uneasy about the changes she was forced to make, Yu Jin settled into her new life surprisingly well. Of course, every transition comes with its own set of ups and downs and Yu Jing’s was no exception.  Forced to become seatmates with the notoriously ill-tempered Shen Juan (Zhou Yi Ran), Yu Jing might have easily been disheartened about her new school. Luckily, even with Shen Juan as a seatmate, Yu Jing found making friends surprisingly easy. Even more surprising were the subtle changes she began to notice in Shen Juan. Unfortunately, Yu Jing never got a chance to explore those changes further as the sudden appearance of her mother brought her new life to a crashing halt. Dragged back to her hometown by her mother, Yu Jing might never have seen Shen Juan again, had fate not decided to intervene. Settling into life at university a year later, Yu Jing is surprised to find Shen Juan attends the same school. Reunited with her former classmate, Yu Jing is shocked to learn just how difficult the past year has been for Shen Juan. With the support of their new friends and classmates, can Yu Jing help Shen Juan navigate through the haze of tragedy while simultaneously finding direction in her own life?
