In Hangzhou in the Republic of China, Li Wei, a scholar in trouble, went to live with his uncle who owned a silk and satin shop, living in poverty. He couldn't afford a bowl of Yangchun noodles by the West Lake, so he became a tutor in the Bai Mansion by accident.
Bai Yuxue, the eldest daughter of the Bai family, has studied in college, can drive, and has bright eyes. She generously broke into his yard to borrow books, generously took him to talk to Yexi Lake, and generously stuffed the close-fitting white jade into his palm. She thought it was fate, and so did he.
But the world does not allow people to achieve perfection. An anonymous letter, a fire, a trip to a foreign country. It was only three hundred miles from Hangzhou to Shanghai, but the two of them could never reach the same place.
Many years later, on the streets of Shanghai, he was already a company manager with a fiancée, but she was a destitute person waiting to die on the hospital bed. The piece of jade named "White Jade Snow" in the rosewood box was tossed around and finally returned to his hands. When she was dying, she used all her strength to say——
"In the next life, we will meet soon."
