Lin Weilan was crouched beside the hearth, studying by the last embers of the firewood. She was the only young intellectual in the village who still had old textbooks, yet she was also the one nobody believed in. She couldn’t earn enough work points, ate coarse grains, and lived in a dilapidated shack, but still dared to dream that studying could change her fate. Everyone laughed at her for chasing the impossible. Only the four Chen brothers, who were staying with her, went from scoffing, “Can studying count toward your work points?” to helping with her labor, lending her books, keeping her safe on the road, and scraping together her tuition. They even risked their lives to get her to the exam hall. The exam she was taking was about more than an acceptance letter: it was a turning point for one woman, one poor family, and an entire mountain village. But after she passes the exam and leaves, will she ever come back? And what will the four men who have placed their hearts in her hands do with their feelings?
