In a rainy lane in late autumn, the sickly daughter Jiang Yingxue and the down-and-out painter Lin Mochen meet unexpectedly. An oil painting of stormy petrels becomes the link between two lonely souls, but under the double obstacles of a wealthy family and fateful illness, the most poignant love blooms.
He is willing to use the paintbrush as a blade to split the cage, and she is willing to use her heartbeat as a string to sing her swan song. From the first encounter with the Merlin Oath in the rain alley, from the private meeting in the piano room to the farewell on the snowy night, when the white plum handkerchief was stained with blood, and when the sound of Weiyang's piano died forever, they used their lives to prove that some love is destined to be heavier than life and death.
Ten years later, at the Rain Lane Art Exhibition in a Paris gallery, the gray-haired painter picked up a yellowing sketchbook. Next to the faded blue feathers on the title page, the new ink writing seems to have come from time travel: "Fighting in the sky is not a dream."
