The story begins in India, when Meng Yan is sitting on the rooftop of a foreign hotel, and a Chinese compatriot who is not enthusiastic about helping her tells the story about Chen Zimu, and the difficult pursuit begins...
In the 1990s, the north and south of the Yangtze River were undergoing vigorous reform and development. However, for Pomegranate Town on the southern border, the impression of the monsoon was not obvious. The children in the town did not know video games, Jingle Cat and Hello Kitty. Meng Yan, Datou, and Lin Xiaoyue were still chasing each other on the ridges of the fields and by the creek, simple and unrestrained.
When he was six years old, Chen Zimu, the "cleanest and most sensible" child in the world, walked into their world. Liu Suqing took him to live across from Meng Yan. Although the adults did not interact closely with each other, a simple and hazy friendship developed between the children.

Various conflicts pushed the story forward until Chen Zimu unexpectedly went abroad.

Five years later, when she set foot on this land to find Chen Zimu who had disappeared inexplicably, the truth of everything gradually became clear. Why is Chen Zimu missing?
