Zhang Shengli unexpectedly returns to the age of fourteen, to the 1980s, more than thirty years ago.
It was an era of poverty, shortages, and backbreaking labor.
But it was also a vibrant age of rapid development, full of everyday warmth and clashing ideas.
Most importantly, the era was filled with government benefits and all kinds of opportunities.
Zhang Shengli is confident he can seize every opportunity and make his new life a brilliant success.
But this life doesn't go as smoothly as he expected.
He has barely made his entrance when he nearly loses his life.
All he wanted was to find the girl who had been by his side for his whole life, and help her escape hardship sooner.
But then a girl who had never crossed paths with him before barges into his life.
He can't let her go, yet he can't sort out his feelings either.
One thing after another happens that shouldn't have.
People who shouldn't have appeared come into his life, one by one.
Zhang Shengli doesn't know whether his life has changed because he changed the lives of others, or whether this life of his is itself just a dream.
Real or false, dream or illusion.
After struggling with it for a while,
Zhang Shengli stops dwelling on questions with no answers.
He decides to take life seriously and cherish the people he loves and those who love him. That's all it takes to live without regrets.
