Twenty-year-old Lei Huike, in order to escape an arranged marriage, rode a broken motorcycle and ran 400 kilometers with her cousin to a place called Pucheng.
He thought this was just the beginning of his journey away from home, but he didn't expect to step into the abyss of the underworld. From offending the playboy Mao Xian, to attracting the pursuit of ten professional killers, to ending his enemies with his own hands - he fought his way through this strange city and made a group of friends who could trade their lives.
Just when everything seemed to be going on the right track, a deliberate car accident took away the most brilliant girl. Immediately afterwards, his beloved Xu Luoluo was shot by a mysterious sniper, and his life hung on a thread. In a desperate situation, the golden walnut birthmark on his wrist that had been dormant for many years awakened. Using a mechanism of "sharing" rather than "exchanging", he gave up his twenty years of life in exchange for her rebirth. His hair turned gray overnight.
He faked his death and lurked in secret, guarding his wife and children for four years. When everything was settled, the woman who had been waiting for him for thirteen years in the bookstore on Pucheng Old Street - Wang Lili, the real controller of the cross-city underground network - raised her gun and pointed it at Xu Luoluo.
He stood in front of the gun. She lowered the gun.
"I will stop today. It's not that I don't dare to kill, it's the person you're protecting with your life that I can't afford to kill."
Two years later in the autumn, the sky was filled with ginkgo trees at Xutai intersection. White-haired Lei Huike stood under the street sign, with Xu Luoluo and her toddler son beside her. When he was twenty years old, he walked out on this road, thinking that there was an answer in the distance. Now he stands here and finally understands - the answer lies not in the distance, but in the people who come back.
