Chen Ran has an older brother, but he's not like other people's older brothers. Then one day, Chen Ran realizes that fate is always so melodramatic, capriciously tormenting the people and things that were supposed to go on like this forever. Gradually, Chen Ran understands that she's been too foolish and naive. On a journey where everything keeps changing, the seventeen-year-old girl walks on, step by step. Though the road is covered in thorns, she has no regrets. Because all she is doing is waiting for a farewell.
Reckless youth, the days of young men riding fine horses in splendid clothes. Before they have time to squander it, it has already turned to dust. Perhaps it was their childishness that led to the mistakes adults see. What are those layers of foundation and lipstick, so out of keeping with their age, meant to proclaim? They always think they've grown up and are sick of all the nagging. They truly want to abandon everything they have now and risk it all, only to suddenly find themselves at a loss. Chen Ran is in the throes of youth, wandering through this vast world, wavering between loving and being loved, growing up as she learns what she does and doesn't understand. As this cycle repeats, what is Chen Ran to do?
