Thirty-one-year-old Shen Yanqiu returned to Chao'an Town after ten years of absence because of her mother's death. She thought she was just coming back to sell an old house, sign a few contracts and leave. In the town, she met Lin Zhao, her high school classmate whom she hadn't seen in twelve years. Now he runs an independent bookstore in the town.
The two had an unspoken relationship when they were teenagers. Shen Yanqiu always thought it was an illusion in adolescence, and Lin Zhao never mentioned it to anyone.
After the reunion, the old memories came back layer by layer like a tide. Shen Yanqiu discovered that none of the things he had escaped during the ten years of hard work in Beicheng - his mother's indifference, his father's absence without saying goodbye, and the suffocation of the small town - had disappeared after he came back. Lin Zhao's quietness and determination, like a beacon, gave her the courage to face the past for the first time.
