Once upon a time, Shi Milu said: "I would rather be a beggar in Shanghai than the overlord of City A."
Jiang Yuan said: "I have a small house. I will only be your little wife, give birth to a child for you, and cook and live together. This describes all my expectations for the future life."
Together they came to the brightly lit Shanghai from a third-tier city, experienced friendship, love and material desires, and then became another strange version of themselves.
Finally, Jiang Yuan said: "I seem to have everything that others envy, but in fact I already have nothing."
Shi Milu said: "The moment I gave up my dream, I knew that I had killed my former self and would eventually return to the world. However, to this day, I can tell others that I have no regrets."
This is a story about youth, dreams, and love.
