In 1983, there was a severe drought in northern Shaanxi. Lin Qiuyue, whose parents died, was forced to marry the abusive and gambling boss of the Song family in Xinghua Village. On their wedding night, she fell into a cliff with hatred and was rescued by Lu Huaiyuan, the son of the village party secretary. The villagers all knew that Lu Huaiyuan was frail and dying. It was not until she moved into his cave dwelling that she discovered that this taciturn man used everything he could give to hold up a sunny sky for her in the yellow sand.
