Fresh out of college and estranged from her family, Xu Mai'er heads alone to Beijing to chase her dreams. She goes from sharing a place with friends to renting a room of her own, and from a small village beyond the Sixth Ring Road to Wangjing.
Through the pandemic, education reforms, and her company going bankrupt, she never gives up working hard. She has dreams of her own, too: traveling and seeing more of the world.
Along the way, her best friends Momo and Linlin are always there for her. She also meets one man after another, and each says he loves her and wants to take care of her.
Her first love lets go far too soon. Su Che, on the other hand, is always ignoring her feelings. They live together, yet he treats her as if they were in a long-distance relationship, never there when she needs him. Gao Yixiang, the one who understands her best, loses touch with her after an accident!
Then there's Sun Jixiao, a Beijing native she meets by chance. He stays by her side, cherishes her, and takes her on road trips. In the end, he gives her all the security and affection she could ask for, making her feel safe enough to marry him!
Little by little, Sun Jixiao's love heals the wounds left by her unhappy family and painful childhood!
It's great to see, it's a great experience of drifting to the north.
