At 48, Wanqing lives alone in gentle peace, hoping to spend the rest of her life in quiet contentment. Then, unexpectedly, she falls for a sincere young man 22 years her junior.
Their forbidden May-December romance is full of push and pull. One night of passion turns into a heartfelt love met with rumors throughout town, public humiliation by his mother, and judgment from society.
“Over fifty and seducing a young man? She has no sense of what’s proper!”
The world’s prejudice bears down like a mountain, but the young man fiercely stands by her: “Everyone else may oppose us, but I’m going to marry you.”
At 38, Xiaotang is married and trapped in a stagnant relationship, lonely and unsupported year after year.
The first love she cherished as a girl returns with a vengeance, his refined exterior concealing a crazed obsession.
A line crossed on a rainy night, a loss of control in a car, a collision that entangles them, and one calculated move after another!
Block him and he’ll wait outside her office, her home, and her husband’s repair shop!
His tenderness is an act. His need to control her is real.
Torn between a stable family and a dangerous, addictive affair that crosses every line, she sinks deeper, unable to move forward or turn back!
At 26, bright and warm-hearted Nuannuan is tricked into a torturous affair, tasting the small town’s cold, uncaring ways.
Three close friends born in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s weather half a lifetime of storms, each caught in her own romantic ordeal.
One defies convention and bears the world’s condemnation for love;
one is lost in her marriage, caught in an obsessive entanglement;
one endures every hardship, then slowly comes to her senses and grows.
Rumors sweep through the whole town as love and morality pull them apart, and sincerity and scheming clash.
Amid the mess of everyday life, they stumble, struggle, heal, and stand together to save one another.
The most ordinary little romances can be the wildest, and people’s hearts the most untamed.
