The story begins from the perspective of the protagonist Gu Xiaolei's parents, revealing the start of his unfortunate life. Scheming was already at work from the moment he was born: a cruel mother, an ineffectual father, grandparents who doted on him beyond measure, and, later, an aunt who would prove just as calculating. What kind of life awaits Xiaolei when he grows up? When will his salvation arrive? Let us wait together for that ray of light. How do we face adversity? We must never give up hope and keep moving forward.
