On April 14, 2013, Yang Xiaoning, a young man, met an old man selling hawthorn saplings by chance. The small tree he planted casually unexpectedly led to the affectionate bond that will last for the rest of his youth and life.
Yang Xiaoning is a gentle and elegant man with both civil and military skills. He can not only charge into battle to protect justice, but also possesses many unique skills. He has grown from a campus boy to an indomitable strongman. He attaches great importance to love and justice, has firm principles, and is domineering and awe-inspiring outside, but at home he is gentle and submissive to only one person. It wasn't until she met Xu Xiaomeng that her calm heart completely collapsed, and from then on she gave all her tenderness and preference to her alone.
From a young campus to a prosperous city, the two met under a hawthorn tree, fell in love, and stayed together. They also experienced separation and suffering amid misunderstandings, reality, and human calculations. The companionship of friendship, the bond of family ties, the villain's difficulties, and the running-in between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law make this relationship sweet yet cruel, and tearful yet warm. Friends Chen Yuhang, Li Xiaoxiao, Lin Xiaoshang and others around them are also experiencing love and growth. Some are happy with their enemies, some are silently guarding them, and some are leaving soberly, which outlines the most authentic group portrait of youth.
The hawthorn tree has grown from a frail sapling to a fruitful one, witnessing Yang Xiaoning and Xu Xiaomeng from being young and inseparable. They overcame misunderstandings, kept their original intentions, and adhered to their three views. They redeemed each other in the test of human nature and morality, and turned their lives into sweet and sour happiness in the daily life of fireworks.
This is a romantic and affectionate relationship with hawthorn as a bond, and a healing journey of growth. Under the hawthorn tree, happiness is with you, all the ups and downs will eventually become a thing of the past, and all the tenderness will be gone.
