The winds of Nancheng are always thick with unsolved mysteries. The bond between the Fu and Huang families, spanning two generations, gradually takes shape through one search after another, chasing the wind and tracking shadows. Lan Qi is cherished by everyone: her father, Fu Longsheng, is the godfather to Xiwang, Xitai, Ximeng, Xiaoxin, Hu Feng, and Zaizai, sharing his tender affection among every child while harboring an unspoken concern for his own daughter alone. His old friend Huang Dezhong treats her like his own daughter, and even He Qiuguo, his adopted daughter, considers her the best friend she must protect above all. The two share the secrets of adolescence and become entangled in the past their fathers would rather not mention. As buried clues emerge from old belongings and rumors, this close-knit group must face the shadows in the wind. Is it the responsibility Fu Longsheng conceals behind his role as a godfather? The secret behind Huang Dezhong adopting He Qiuguo? Or promises and regrets buried by time? They take family ties as their shield and friendship as their blade. Along the path of pursuing shadows, they slowly come to understand that being cherished by everyone is no sheltered existence, but the confidence of knowing someone will stand beside you through every storm.
Dear readers, you may wonder why Guoguo is also part of the wolf pack and calls them “big brothers.” That’s because the author’s setting has Guoguo, like Meibao, as the wolf pack’s little sister.
