Based on the changing times from the 1990s to the present, it tells the romantic story of rural boy Xu Qiucheng who spent half his life repenting to complete his self-salvation.
Xu Qiucheng, who was young and poor, went out to work. In an Internet cafe in City F, he fell in love with Chen Anqi, who suffered from congenital heart disease, over a game. Their youthful love was pure and passionate. After the unexpected pregnancy, Chen Anqi cruelly lied about breaking up and went to Shanghai in order not to drag him down, and died alone after giving birth to his daughter. Xu Qiucheng, who was unaware, searched frantically to no avail. When he returned home, his father died of illness. The double blow left him burdened with a lifetime of guilt.
In the next fourteen years, Xu Qiucheng got married and had children, but he always lived in longing for An Qi and self-blame. He accidentally got in touch with his biological daughter Chen Nian, and after learning her mother's last wish, they agreed to sacrifice together. Unexpectedly, the secret was discovered by his wife, and father and daughter suddenly lost contact. When he heard the news again, his daughter had already fallen into rebellion due to the absence of father's love, but he had no face to face her because he had not fulfilled his responsibilities for many years.
After being isolated by the Chen family and his daughter going abroad, Xu Qiucheng took stock of the Internet cafe where he met and used self-imprisonment to repent day and night. Many years later, Chen Nian, who returned from his studies, purchased an Internet cafe with resentment and took revenge. After mediation between relatives and friends and the revelation of the truth about his mother's suicide note, the years of estrangement and resentment were finally resolved.
Xu Qiucheng spent half his life waiting, feeling guilty and persevering, in exchange for his father and daughter recognizing each other, and completed the ultimate redemption for his lover, daughter and himself who were half a lifetime late.
Intention: Young man misses, regrets for half his life, daughter returns, all suspicions are cleared
