Twenty-six-year-old Gu Yanfeng had just lost his job.
This isn't the first time she's been pushed to the ground and rubbed by life, and it probably won't be the last. Four years after graduation, she thought she could at least gain a foothold in this city, but the reality is: her savings are three digits, and she won't be able to pay the rent next month. She can't even remember her high-spirited self in college.
There was something hard in her bones that hurt others and herself. How many times could she get over it by just lowering her head, but she didn't. The result is - a bloody head, then get up again, and a bloody head again.
Twenty-seven-year-old Xu Zhinan just ran away from home.
She doesn't want to marry a "well-matched" person, and she doesn't want to live a life where she can see everything at a glance. So she made a bet with her father: for two years, she could survive on her own without taking a penny from the family. If you win, you make the decision on your marriage; if you lose, you accept your fate.
She staked her future and came to Qishan City alone.
One is a migrant worker who has been scarred by life but refuses to surrender.
One is the eldest lady who is about to fly from the golden cage but doesn't know how high the sky is.
They met in Qishan City.
Gu Yanfeng felt that Xu Zhinan was a lunatic who did not know the sufferings of the world, while Xu Zhinan felt that Gu Yanfeng was a coward who was frightened by life. They dislike each other, but unknowingly, they become the person the other person least wants to lose in this city.
Xu Zhinan taught Gu Yanfeng - it turns out that not all bowing your head is called surrender, some bowing your head is because you have something you want to protect.
Gu Yanfeng taught Xu Zhinan that true freedom is not to run away from home, but to still have the courage to choose the life you want after recognizing the truth of life.
Two women covered in thorns found reasons to hide their thorns in each other.
This is a story about "disobedience".
Do not admit defeat, do not accept fate, do not accept the life arranged by others for you.
It is also a story about "habitation".
The wandering person finally settled on the other person.
Intention: Bravely resist a fate you don't like
