Chen Zhe's life is a long journey filled with scars and slowly healed by four loves. In his senior year, he met Lin Xiaoran, a junior, at a noisy orientation party. Her eyes broke his silence. The test on QQ, the body temperature in the swimming pool, and the embrace at the roller rink made the love between the two spread in every corner of the campus. Luo Liao Yuan - the loveless kiss under the camphor tree, the hot love delivered to each other in the dormitory on a winter night, he once thought that this was a lifelong vow, but in the end he lost to the thousands of miles apart after graduation, and the vows shattered into silence and estrangement between the two places.
Being urged to marry, he married Su Qing, a gentle nurse, but he lived a stable life but hid his obsession with Lin Xiaoran. After learning that she was happily married and had children, he thought his heart was at peace, but the taboo fire was ignited by Xia Wan, an intern who was ten years younger. The joy of underground love was finally broken by his wife. He chose to return to his family and cut off the hot but wrong relationship with his own hands.
The backlash of fate came unexpectedly. A fraud left him hundreds of thousands in debt. He did not dare to tell his family. He carried the pressure on the verge of collapse alone and even thought about ending his life. Fortunately, he survived and paid off his debts with the help of his parents, but found that the love between his wife and children had long since cooled down, leaving only alienation. After his parents passed away and his children grew up, he divorced Su Qing peacefully and embarked on a journey to Xinjiang alone, looking for redemption in the Gobi and grasslands.
On the way, he met Aya, a "spiritual girl" who had no fixed abode and was as lively as a weed. The age difference of nearly twenty years could not stop their attraction to each other. He used the wisdom accumulated over the years to protect her from the wind and rain, and she used her unruly vitality to awaken his silent heart. The two spent time in a cabin on the prairie.
