During the heavy snowfall in Ezhou in 2007, Lin Chen and Chen Ying, who had just entered high school, met unexpectedly. In order to follow in her footsteps, Lin Chen chose liberal arts despite his family's objections, but was not placed in the same class as her. After the college entrance examination, the two were admitted to Jiangcheng University together. They thought they would go into the future together, but Lin Chen chose to enlist in the army three months after enrolling. From the recruit company in Nanjing, to the military academy in Xi'an, and then to the army in Shanghai, distance and time gradually wore away their feelings. Lin Chen took the initiative to break up and buried his love deep in his heart. For many years after that, he silently followed Chen Ying's life through his best friend Fang Lei, watching her get married and have children, and gradually learned to let go under Fang Lei's persuasion. After changing jobs and returning to Ezhou, Lin Chen worked in a municipal unit, started a family with Su Wan, a kindergarten teacher, and had a son and a daughter. However, he always lingered in front of his alma mater, missing that figure in the snow. Until an accidental encounter, the two of them brought their families and pretended not to know each other tacitly. Looking at the happiness in each other's eyes, Lin Chen finally understood that all the entanglements had become a thing of the past. He was finally relieved, reconciled with the past, and embraced his own ordinary happiness.
