In the summer of 1995, Y University in the United States sent its doctoral student Su Xiaowan a notice recommending her withdrawal from the program. Several days later, Su Xiaowan dragged her luggage away from campus alone under the blazing sun, a faint, cold smile on her face.
Two years later, Shen Weifeng was nearly driven to bang his head against a wall by the staffing problems on a difficult project. Just then, Su Xiaowan, newly arrived from the United States, appeared before him.
Wait, isn't this Su Xiaowan, the one who lost our vital astronomical data? She looks so frail. What could she possibly do in the remote northwest?
Isn't this Shen Weifeng, the person in charge of that exchange delegation two years ago? Why does he look so bedraggled? He used to be so clean-cut and handsome!
How could Su Xiaowan possibly be up to the task?
Shen Weifeng, determined to refuse Su Xiaowan's participation in the archaeological project, was filled with resistance...
But Su Xiaowan had secretly made up her mind: Wherever you, Shen Weifeng, go, I'll go too!
On one side, the boundless sandstorms of the remote northwest; on the other, a foreign-trained female consultant...
What will the frazzled Shen Weifeng do?
Theme: Freedom, a lifelong wish, and independence.
