Three tangled love stories ensnare a free spirit, from its first stirrings to its destruction, and finally to its rekindling.
As a girl, the heroine Fang Yu’s admiration for her older cousin became warped into a shameful past she could barely speak of.
In her university friend’s suicide note, the friend wrote that jealousy of her had ultimately led to her own death. Then a man came to her and said, “We went through this together. Let’s promise neither of us will leave the other, okay?”
Just as the flame of freedom is about to go out, she finds a tender, healing love. But she is already trapped in a vortex, and her hands, yearning for freedom, no longer have the courage to reach out.
“One morning, I’ll cast off every burden and set out north again. But when will that morning come?”
