Cheng Yuan is 30 years old, single, resigned, and moved into an old building in an ancient city without an elevator.
He has three characteristics: he loves to read history, he is indecisive, and he is pulled by two girls at the same time.
Su Qing is like a firework - brilliant, enthusiastic, bringing her own BGM wherever she goes, laughing at him for resigning because he is out of his mind.
Lin Wan is like a lonely lantern - gentle and silent, only sending a warm baby when the weather is cold, without saying a word.
He couldn't bear to part with any one, and he didn't dare to choose any one.
Then he started dreaming.
Confucius sat opposite him and said: Being kind to everyone is the greatest unkindness.
I was riding a bull and passed by and said: Do you think you won't make a mistake if you don't choose? Not choosing is the biggest mistake.
Wu Zixu dug up the grave and whipped the corpse, which made him realize for the first time the weight of the word "choice".
Cao Cao smiled: Do you want anything you want? I have failed everyone in the world, at least I chose.
Wang Yangming finally asked him: Do you know who you want? If you know something but don't do it, it means you don't know.
Forty nights, 40 historical figures, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qing Dynasty, each used their own lives to teach him a lesson.
In the first 20 chapters, he laughed and quarreled with the ancients, flirted with two girls, and felt that life was nothing more than "Let's talk about it".
In the next 20 chapters, Su Qing gave a deadline and Lin Wan decided to go abroad. The tragedies of the ancients emerged one by one - he finally couldn't laugh anymore.
This is the whole process of a coward becoming a man.
40 Dreams, 40 mirrors.
Finally he chose the lone lamp.
It's not because the fireworks aren't beautiful.
It's because he finally knows what kind of light is more suitable for him.
