Liang Yizhou, a talented painter who grew up in an ordinary small town, came to the big city with an artistic dream. With the company and help of his parents, his childhood sweetheart Yang Guang, and his childhood sweetheart Su Ruge, he experienced a life trajectory from obscurity to gradual recognition, to unexpected fame, to hitting rock bottom and then making a comeback. Faced with the temptation of money, the test of friendship, the twists and turns of love and self-doubt on the road of art, he used humor and diligence to resolve the difficulties. The three-volume structure focuses on the ideal voyage, the ups and downs, and the self-consistency of the dream. The story is fast-paced but progressive, and the characters' growth is delicately depicted. In the end, the protagonist not only becomes an influential artist, but also understands the true meaning of life: art is life, and life is also art.
