"Jia Ma" is Mo Yin's masterpiece of novels. A horse is not a horse. It is a woodblock print used by Yunnan people to pray for blessings. For Xie Ye's family, a horse is also a "wordless letter to the other side." In the family, those who have the ability to "dream" can use their "armor" to peer into people's past and heal those who are trapped in reality. Nineteen-year-old Xie Ye came to Shanghai from Yunnan to study. Another purpose of his trip was to find his biological mother. By chance, he saw a photo of his grandfather in a family photo taken by university professor Su Huaishu. What is the relationship between the professor and his own family? Why did his mother abandon the family and return to Shanghai as soon as he was born, never to be heard from again?

With the help of Jiama, Xie Ye tries to piece together the past and find its connection with the present. And as the past gradually became clearer, family secrets that he had never expected also surfaced...
