Tang Yi is often told by her best friend, Li Wenqian, that she cares too much about love. Put bluntly, she is hopelessly lovesick. Tang Yi realizes she has always longed to be loved.
She leaves home alone to study in Shanghai, giving everything she has just to carve out a place for herself in the city.
She closes her eyes and remembers the young man running in the opposite direction through the subway station that night. When love is at its most intense, even a moment of panic can cut deep.
A mistaken temptation, a love that turned to hate. She once wanted revenge, wanted to become someone like Shi Cheng. She kept pushing herself to grow, but in the end, she still could not become him.
Her parents' love seems to drain her like a vampire, forcing her to face...
Some of her friends are rolling in money, some have happy families, and some die before turning thirty... People rush about in a panic for nothing more than a few pieces of silver.
Make peace with her parents, with the past, and with herself.
[Urban daily life, with the protagonist eating, gathering with friends, and chatting. Warm everyday moments, no especially over-the-top drama, a realistic and slow-paced story.] This is about a group of young people striving to buy homes, get married, and make something of themselves in Shanghai.
