The story is narrated by the third-generation heroine Lin Xiaomeng, who uses memoirs and family historical materials to guide readers back to the legend of her grandmother and mother, and tells her own personal experience.
The core suspense throughout the trilogy: one is the mysterious foot-binding cloth left by grandma Shen Yulian, and the other is the silver fried chopsticks passed down by mother Chen Yuhua. These two tokens, in the hands of the third generation Lin Xiaomeng, will reveal the final secret and complete the ultimate echo of fate.
