For the sake of her mother, Liu Xiaomai packed up her life in a hurry and married Chen Jianguo from the same village. She became a plant that never saw the light of day in the shell of a "good wife and mother" - what others saw as docility and virtuousness was just the last bit of dignity she managed to hold on to after being gnawed away by "sunshine depression".
Until Zhou Ye, the boy who always secretly looked at her in junior high school, found her from QQ after many years. With the unspoken heartbeat of his youth, he wanted to see if Bai Yueguang was okay back then, but he discovered that her marriage was in a mess. He said, "I've liked you since junior high school," like a beam of reckless and fiery light that suddenly shone into her already depleted heart.
But there is also a shadow behind the light: Zhou Ye was once married, and his wife's betrayal made him live alone with his son; while Liu Xiaomai had long been tied into a cocoon by the child's crying and the trivialities day after day, and even the courage to reach out and touch the light was slowly dissipating.
Two people who had both been broken by life looked at each other's wounds at the intersection of reunion. Should you continue to be stuck in the same place and play "how you should be", or should you step on the eyes of the world and live for yourself? Will this belated heartbeat light up each other's path, or will it make them fall into a deeper quagmire?
