The story starts from a cafe. The name of the cafe is easy to remember, called "35-year-old Cafe". The female owner of the cafe is named Bai Shihua. She has a seemingly happy but actually unfortunate family. She opened a cafe instead of the iron rice bowl of a state-owned enterprise, just to have time to take care of her son. In the 35-year-old cafe, you can always meet all kinds of people. One of them is Jin Muyao. He is frustrated in his career and love. He is in his early 30s and is a technical engineer who is about to face the mid-life crisis at the age of 35. There are also Yan Linglu, who comes from a big city, and Ouyang Wentian, who has a successful career. They met and became friends because of this cafe.
