Ye Ling, 32 years old, was once the youngest executive housekeeper of a five-star hotel. At the peak of her career, she resigned and returned to her hometown of Yunjinshan. She took over the century-old house left by her grandmother and transformed it into a high-end B&B with only seven rooms.
Less than a month after opening, she met the person she least wanted to see.
Lu Shinian, her closest classmate in high school, the boy who brought her milk tea every day, took off his school uniform for her on rainy days, and said, "I want to build you a house." When he was seventeen, he suddenly went abroad with his mother and was never heard from again. Fifteen years later, he appeared at the door of her B&B and became a well-known architectural designer. He was still good-looking and silent, but there was something in his eyes that she couldn't understand.
He booked a room for seven days and stayed in a room with a view of the old locust tree. He said he was here to collect pictures, but he drew every inch of her old house. He brought the long-extinct orchids from Yunjin Mountain and planted them where her grandmother once planted roses.
The reunion was supposed to be the end of the story. But Ye Ling discovered that the real story had just begun - the letter that had been hidden for fifteen years, the afternoon at the airport that she didn't know about, and the 1,628 letters he wrote after going abroad, each of which had the same address: Yunjin Mountain, Yunjin Xiaozhu, collected by Ye Ling.
This is a confession fifteen years late, and a journey about time, loss and reconstruction. She thought that maybe some people were destined to recognize each other only after they became separated.
