Su Wenjin (ROSE), a 46-year-old divorced high school history teacher, lives as peacefully as a deep pool. One night by chance, she met Wu Kai, a 28-year-old male anchor from Guizhou, on Douyin. His sunny singing voice and clear eyes were like a stone thrown into her silent heart. From daily greetings and live broadcast companionship in the virtual world to real meetings across thousands of miles offline, a relationship of dependence and pity grows wildly between the huge age gap and the reality gap. However, after all, the rose and the boy are separated by the fog of youth and the barrier of middle age. Under the intervention of others such as the shrewd and powerful sponsor Qing Qing, the young and lively admirer Duo Duo, and the pull of reality, this intimate relationship that began on the screen has experienced passion, struggle, tearing and long withdrawal. In the end, she used reason to complete a painful peeling off, and he rebuilt a solid life on the ruins. The story tells the emotional paradox of virtual companionship, the restraint and letting go of adult love, and the deep reconciliation with oneself and the past after passing through the storm. This is a startling glimpse that begins on the screen, and ends with a silent farewell to reality, returning to the respective abundance in the wilderness of life.
