Yang Tree

The Sun Tree blends urban romance, love triangles, drugs and human trafficking, criminal investigations, and crime-solving.

It tells the story of Xia Yang, an eighteen-year-old girl in the bloom of youth. Because her father favors sons over daughters, she drops out of school early and goes away to work. In the space of just three months, the “benefactors” she meets, the help she receives, and the love she thinks she has found are all parts of traps laid by others. She is nothing more than a trafficking victim being exploited for a time. When she discovers the truth, her dreams shatter completely.

In this vast city, she is left with no one to rely on once more. She even accidentally kills someone for the sake of a woman who had once used her. Just as she loses all hope and prepares to leap from the thirtieth floor, a pair of warm arms catches her. From then on, her life changes, and a new chapter begins.

In prison, Xia Yang teaches herself the interior design she loves using the books Yang Shu brings her every so often. As he gets to know her, Yang Shu gradually falls in love with this woman with a story of her own. After her release, faced with Yang Shu's pursuit, his mother’s opposition, and Wang Lin’s misunderstanding, she chooses to leave without a word. She is gone for five years. By the time she has built a career in another place and attracted admirers of her own, a phone call from Wang Lin makes her give up her career and return to Yang Shu.

When they meet again, Yang Shu is no longer the man he once was, and Xia Yang is no longer the woman she once was, but their love for each other has not changed at all.

One winter afternoon, Xia Yang nestles against Yang Shu. A ray of sunlight slips quietly through the branches and falls upon them both.

“You’re my little sunshine!”

“And I’m your big tree.”
