In the "Dingyun Bookstore" deep in the rain alley, Ruan Ruan found a stack of unsent love letters among the old things he inherited. The heat and forbearance of the 1990s were hidden in the handwriting signed "Zhiyuan". When elite lawyer Shen Yan bursts in with will documents, wearing a cold suit and shattering the humid silence of the bookstore, the two of them read the same name on the yellowed letter paper - "Adopted Xiao Yan".
Twenty years ago, the forbidden love between writer Zhiyao and a young lawyer came to an abrupt end due to the severe obstruction of Shen Yan's adoptive father; twenty years later, Ruan Ruan and Shen Yan followed the "Selected Poems of Byron", the coordinates of the locust tree, and the faded postmark in the love letter to piece together the truth buried by time. Fragments of diary pages from the attic, old maps from the former site of the law firm, book boxes we shared on rainy nights... When the two-line narrative intertwined between modern times and the 1990s, they not only revealed the regrets of the two generations, but also allowed their emotions to grow along the veins of old love letters through exploration and proximity.
This is an echo of love that spans time and space. The unfinished things in the old book will eventually be filled with perfect footnotes on the new rainy day.
