In the chirping of cicadas in midsummer, the young man under the old locust tree made a vow of eternal alliance, but it was washed away by the torrent of family status and prejudice. Xia Meng and Zhou Zan, a pair of young people who fell in love passionately in their youth, were forced to separate due to family obstruction - she went to Canada, while he guarded the empty classroom and a silver ring, enduring his longing into a long wait.
In the past seven years, the gears of fate have never stopped turning. In order to save his seriously ill mother, Zhou Zan bowed his head and accepted a business marriage; in order to restore the family's decline, Xia Meng compromised and entered into a loveless marriage. Separated by the walls of mountains, seas and the secular world, the love between the two never dissipated, but instead grew wildly over the years. The reunion at a concert was like a thunder that cracked open the illusion of calm, and the suppressed emotions surged out. In the cracks of reality, they began to keep a frightening secret together.
The family's revenge, the shackles of the marriage contract, and the test of morality are all under heavy pressure. Can the promise they made under the old locust tree withstand the world's difficulties? When Shen Jiashu and Lin Wei chose to leave the show with dignity, when their aunt's help brought about a turn of events, and when their father finally took off his stubborn armor, the love that spanned seven years finally ushered in a bright future.
From the chirping of cicadas in midsummer to the falling snow in winter, from the green confession to the white-haired stay together, the flowers of the old locust tree withered and bloomed again. This is a story about waiting and perseverance. Although old roses will wither, true love will eventually be blown by the monsoon and bloom again in the years.
