On the eve of the college entrance examination in 2003, the protagonist Lin Yifan faced the temptation of whether to take the college entrance examination instead of a rich kid. The novel unfolds as a two-line narrative:
· Line A: Accept the deal, change your name and start a new life
· Line B: Refuse temptation and stick to the original trajectory
The two lines are narrated alternately, showing completely different life situations twenty years later, and finally intersect at a certain life node.
