Everyone believes the Lin and Zhuang families in the alley by the cotton mill are born neighbors, practically kin.
But no one knows that Lin Dongzhe has a twin sister, Lin Qingyuan, who is perceptive beyond her years and quietly rewrites the fate of the entire alley.
She is gentle but has firm boundaries, clearheaded and willing to make hard choices.
She helps the Lin family leave behind the neighborhood's infighting from the original story and break free of the social obligations that have entangled them for half a lifetime. Instead, they grow close to the sincere and straightforward Gu family.
The adults understand one another, the children grow up together, and the two families become as close as one, sharing a warmth and harmony far greater than the old bond between the Lin and Zhuang families.
The Zhuang family, once on good terms with them, gradually drifts away as their views and values prove incompatible.
The old alley remains, but relationships change.
This time, the Lin family won't be trapped in petty neighborhood affairs or cling to old ties. They'll choose good neighbors, stay true to themselves, and set out on a smooth path.
Why does the heroine always ignore Zhuang Xiaoting? Isn't it because she is sober and doesn't get involved? She knows what kind of person the banker is, but she always ignores Zhuang Xiaoting and talks too much about psychology [Petrochemical]

There is a lot of activity in my mind and nothing to see. I keep writing about the bookmaker.
