Eighteen-year-old Lin Yiyi is trapped in a quagmire. Depression and day-to-day abuse from her adoptive mother are her entire life. The death of her adoptive father made her lose her only warmth. On another desperate rainy night, she ran away from home with scars all over her body and little savings, and broke into the cold Shanghai alone to survive.
When she was struggling to survive at the bottom, she met Cheng Yiyang, a rural youth who was also working hard to live. His down-to-earthness and sincerity were like a glimmer of light, illuminating her dark world. The two supported each other in adversity and depended on each other warmly. However, the shadow of the past has not left her. The paranoid adoptive mother follows her closely, constantly harassing her and trying to drag her back into the abyss.
While fighting against the trauma of her original family and the torture of mental illness, Yiyi worked hard to learn and grow with Cheng Yiyang's company, seizing slim opportunities and struggling to make progress in the workplace. Facing the pressure of reality, the test of love and the crazy counterattack from the past, can Yiyi cut off the shackles, heal the scars, break out of the ground with her own strength, and truly realize the transformation from despair to hope?
