As a child born out of wedlock, Lan Yishui cares most about her mother, Lan Shan. She tries hard to reach her mother, but in the end, she is disappointed. Her unconventional mother is like a compass guiding Lan Yishui as she grows up, and the attention she longs for. Lan Yishui has always hoped to win her mother's love, and sought proof that it was real. Her mother always says she loves her, but Lan Yishui never believes her. Only when she grows old enough does Lan Yishui understand that her stubbornness has come at a steep price.
