Shu Luoluo was found in a garbage dump.
His biological parents abandoned him in a snowstorm, and kind foster parents took him in.
His foster parents ran a recycling yard. When Shu Luoluo was little, he would pick out "toys" from the garbage, and he could happily eat a half-eaten steamed bun.

When he was five, his foster mother promised to take Shu Luoluo to see the sea from the picture books.
They put him on a train, and his foster parents gave him two whole flatbreads as big as his face and a twenty-yuan bill. They never came back.
Shu Luoluo thought his parents were playing hide-and-seek with him. He crawled under the bed in a sleeper car, waiting for them to find him.
At the same time, a strange change quietly took place.
The train went out of control and raced toward endless snowy mountains. Everyone did everything they could to find food and warm clothes, fighting to the death over a cup of instant noodles.
Meanwhile, Shu Luoluo was munching on flatbread, drinking expired milk, and wrapping himself in a large padded coat made of shoddy cotton.
He had a secret: since he was three, he'd possessed a treasure vault measuring three meters long, three meters wide, and three meters high.
Half a leftover pizza, a discarded cream cake, socks with holes in the toes: it was piled high with things other people didn't want.
It was Shu Luoluo's treasure vault, too.

Zhai Yisu was the only son of the Zhai family of the capital, a young master who had never lifted a finger to do housework.
His plan had been to spend the summer with his parents, who were researchers, by the sea.
For a ten-hour train ride, he brought only two thin shirts and a few buckets of instant noodles.
When the train went out of control, the adults traveling with him seized all the supplies. He was locked in a sleeper car, and even his thin quilt was taken. He shivered with cold.
Just as he began to lose consciousness, Zhai Yisu saw a filthy little boy crawl out from under the sleeper bed.
Shu Luoluo climbed onto the bed and wrapped Zhai Yisu in his padded coat. With his dirty little hands, he stuffed a drool-covered flatbread into Zhai Yisu's mouth.
When Zhai Yisu's body warmed up again, he smelled the stench of the black cotton and saw the dark flatbread in Shu Luoluo's hand. He nearly threw up, only to realize it wasn't a dream.

From that day on, the filthy little monkey Shu Luoluo became Zhai Yisu's constant tagalong.
The two of them survived freezing winters, scorching summers, tsunamis, and mutated plants together. The filthy little monkey grew into a handsome young man, and the junk in Shu Luoluo's space was gradually replaced with treasures.
Much later, Zhai Yisu learned that Shu Luoluo could see the quality and durability of objects by their color.
The young master from the capital was a golden legend with 100% durability. Shu Luoluo had wanted to put him in his space, but couldn't.
