Lin Xiao, a modern working woman, accidentally discovered a diary that spanned time and space when her career encountered bottlenecks and her life was in trouble. The owner of the diary is her great-grandmother Shen Shuhua, a female student who struggled to study during the war-torn Republic of China.
Through her great-grandmother's records of her studies, ideals, beliefs and emotions during the turbulent years, Lin Xiao seemed to have found a spiritual beacon. She began to reflect on her own situation, using her great-grandmother's tenacity and wisdom as a mirror. Faced with the overt and covert threats in the workplace, the life and death crisis of the project, as well as the pressure and confusion from family and emotional fields, Lin Xiao no longer flinched.
In the dialogue and reflection between the two eras, she gradually understood the true meaning of "cultivating yourself to prepare for your fate". In the end, Lin Xiao not only successfully promoted the much-questioned innovative project, but also won an important career breakthrough. He also gained a clearer understanding of his inner desires, found the balance between reality and ideals, personal growth and emotional belonging, and wrote the answer to courage, growth and love that belongs to this era.
