On the winter solstice of 2005, Gu Yuanjie was born in a remote mountainous area of Yunnan. His name contained the word "Jie", which seemed to destined him to have a rough life. Conflicts in his native family and the early death of his father made his childhood full of gloom. Only his best friend Liu Jingyao and his later lover Li Wuxin brought brief light, but they eventually separated due to the barrier between young choices and reality.
After moving to Tancheng to study, Gu Yuanjie and Zhang Xihan started a new emotional entanglement. They separated and reunited twice, but they ended up regretfully due to the differences in reality and personalities. In the workplace, he rose to prominence with his expertise in electrical automation, but was framed and fell to the bottom. Fortunately, he was reborn in Nanjing with the help of an important person, and met Wanho Igawa, who could understand each other's wounds.
The two joined hands in environmental protection and technology research and development, but were repeatedly hit hard by human greed. From the control of chemical pollution in Vietnam to the setbacks in ecological protection in many places, ideals are gradually collapsing. In the end, Gu Yuanjie went to extremes in despair and established an underground drug manufacturing factory in an attempt to retaliate against society. In the end, he chose to die for atonement during the anti-drug operation and was buried in the Lancang River.
With his wish, Igawa Wanho opened a spice shop with a new identity, using pure magnolia fragrance to commemorate this love that spanned life and death, and also left a gentle aftertaste for this tragic life wrapped up in fate.
