Nineteen-year-old Chen Mingyuan and his father went south to work. An idea came to him while squatting on the roadside eating corn, and he spent five years turning a wetland into an ecological park. At the age of twenty-four, she met Shen Ye, the son of a sponsoring businessman, and the two fell in love. They were together for eight years, obtained certificates from abroad, and adopted children. But Chen Mingyuan was busy with his career and neglected Shen Ye for a long time. Shen Ye changed from a smiling boy to a silent, thin, cold-eyed stranger. At the age of thirty-five, Chen Mingyuan met the 23-year-old waiter Lu Xingran in a hotel.
