Lin Shen, the criminal investigation captain of the Ancheng City Bureau, never thought that his reunion with the new portrait artist Shen Que would be like this - a seven-year-old girl peeked out from behind him.
During the breakup seven years ago, Shen didn't tell Lin Shen that she was pregnant. On a rainy night when no one answered the phone, he left alone and gave birth to his daughter Sang Yu in the shabbiest rental house in the provincial capital. While fighting against poverty, illness and loneliness, he used amazing perseverance to get into the technical department of the provincial department and became the best public security portraitist in the province. Lin Shen struggled with the pain of losing his senior brother and the guilt of Shen Que for many years, locking the relationship that ended in vain deep in his heart.
Now fate brings them together again. From the female anchor who disappeared from the secret room of the B&B, to the thirteenth person who appeared out of thin air in the elevator; from the tampered time of death, to the strange eighteen steps in the office building - behind each of the bizarre cases, the portraitist used a paintbrush to dismantle the evil, and the criminal police captain used a gun to guard the truth. And the little girl named Sang Yu used her childish words to stitch up the seven-year rift between the two adults bit by bit.
"The east corner has passed, but it is not too late to mulberry trees." This is a two-way journey spanning seven years, about commitment, waiting, and never-extinguished love.
Intention: Even if fate pushes you into the abyss of loneliness, you must live as a team and grit your teeth in the mud and move forward - not to wait for someone to save you, but to stand shoulder to shoulder with that person one day when you meet him again. Justice will be late and love will get lost, but the truth in the painting and the persistence in the heart will eventually take you home.
