Synopsis

(A work of realism. The story starts slowly, but its impact builds.) A middle-class man in his thirties is hit by the property bubble’s collapse. With his assets shrinking and his marriage all but over, I had planned to give up and lie flat in this city. Until one day, Lin Shu, a fragile-looking college girl full of contradictions, barged into my chaotic life under the guise of a mysterious tenant. She’s sensitive and vulnerable, yet has an instinct for influencer culture that runs deep. To put my vacant properties to use, we team up, cobbling together an app in the music room and hunting for bargains on the beach by pushing the limits of what we can post. When a middle-aged man’s steady nature meets a young woman’s ambition, a spectacular comeback that sweeps through the cultural tourism industry quietly begins. But as profits climb higher and higher, the ease disappears from our once-peaceful emotional lives. The marriage I worked so hard to maintain has become nothing but a game of calculation, while a former fling, swept up in desire, secretly conspires with the help of capital. What weighs on me most is that Lin Shu, who stood by me through the muddy midlife crisis, hides a soul riddled with wounds beneath her emotional ups and downs... When the tide goes out, and we’re left facing fame, fortune, desire, betrayal, and farewell, who will hold on, who will put on an act, and who will bury their possessive heart deep inside, longing to be saved? Who will be the last person to fill the emotional void as I’m dragged into the cutthroat business wars of the Greater Bay Area? Standing once again at a crossroads of fate, what should I choose?
