Chen Luosheng, head of the Chen Group in Sanyuan Province, was nearing the end of his life. A hereditary family illness had claimed his father and younger sister one after the other, and his mother, overcome with grief, had chosen to follow them. With late-stage liver cancer ravaging his body, he carried his family’s memorial tablets back to Chenjia Village alone. Depression had also been his constant companion, leaving him to struggle through endless loneliness and pain.
Yet beneath the village’s old locust tree, he had a dream and learned that his first love, Liu Binglan, had once come to Chenjia Village to teach. After looking into it, he confirmed that a woman surnamed Liu had indeed visited the village, though her name was Liu Bingxin. The name, almost identical to that of his first love, caught his attention. Longing for the past, he resolutely set out on a journey to find “Lan.” Even if he died in the end, he wanted to see the woman in his heart one more time.
Along the way, he encountered far too many souls crushed beneath the weight of fate, from Li Minglei, a young man fighting for the chance to live, to Uncle Li, who lived a lonely, precarious life yet still held fast to his responsibilities.
These familiar pains and helplessness pricked at Chen Luosheng’s heart like needles, again and again.
Though Chen Luosheng knew he had little time left, he still tried his best to heal those souls crushed by fate.
This search with no destination in sight would have an ending no one could foresee…
