Liang Hui, a freelancer, has been following the rules and being rebellious for thirty years. At the age of thirty, he married Lin Xuexia, a virtuous and upright person. His ordinary roots are hidden in his daily disputes. At a party when he was thirty-seven, he was stung by the bohemianness and transparency of the bar girl Chen Li - she lived naked in the quagmire of life, and the two became soul and body soul mates, allowing him to taste the unabashed truth. In 2024, he got acquainted with the talented girl Jasmine through a short article. Her talent was as clear as water, and the spiritual resonance with her finally fell into a physical relationship. Three women with their own families are torn in his heart: Lin Xuexia is the anchor of life, Chen Li is the wild fire, and Jasmine is the light of the soul. The novel is based on Liang Hui's daily struggle, and uses the bargaining at the wet market, the cigarette ashes in the bar, and the scent of ink in the study to analyze the many aspects of love in the materialistic society: responsible love, indulgent love, and spiritual love. In his guilt and greed, he asks what kind of love is the most authentic echo of life!
