At fifteen, with troubles closing in from every side, Xi JianCi meets He Jiashu, whose life has just been upended, beneath a banana tree after school. Though her first impression of him is that he’s a spoiled rich kid, feelings quietly take root and shape the course of her life. In-laws, confidants, lovers, then back to being mere relatives... Their lives draw together and drift apart as their roles change.
Over twelve years, they share funerals and weddings, and cross paths at home and abroad. They grow up and end up worlds apart. Does that mean the love they built up will be swept away by the tides of time, never to return?
Twelve years later, Xi JianCi is trapped by a career bottleneck and a financial crisis when He Jiashu unexpectedly returns from overseas. This time, what will she choose?
