The characters’ transformations take place over two years. This is the story of two strong people from a small town growing up and healing each other.
At seventeen, a car accident took Lu Yi’s passion and pride, and severed his ties with becoming a pilot.
Once the favored child of heaven, he fell into the dust. The solitary boy was bullied, attacked online, and scorned. Then, one summer filled with the incessant song of cicadas, a single dazzling glimpse became his faith. From that moment on, the shaded alley was no longer cold. Sunlight broke through in layers, bathing him in warmth and light.
The wounds inflicted by one’s birth family take a lifetime to heal. Those words bear witness to Li Yubing’s growth: from a dilapidated small town, she made it into the country’s most prestigious university, then built an empire of her own. Looking back on the road she had traveled, she had long since made peace with the past.
The winter when she was twenty was bitterly cold. Li Yubing returned to bring her family to live with her in a spacious apartment in the capital, only for her biological mother to lock her in a stone-and-brick house, trying to imprison her for life. From then on, their paths never crossed again, and mother and daughter became strangers. She had thought she had no one by her side, until she realized that someone had been waiting for her, year after year.
