This is mainly a love story between the male lead, Lu Yi, and the female lead, Xia Lin. The female lead's mother became pregnant before marriage, was cruelly abandoned by a scumbag, and later married Xia Lei's father, Xia Hanyu. Although Xia Lei and Xia Lin aren't related by blood, they are very close. Xia Lin moved into the Xia family home when she was two and took the Xia surname. But when she was five, she fell ill and was sent to live with her paternal grandmother in the countryside while she recovered. At seventeen, Xia Lin returned to the Xia home and met Lu Yi, Xia Lei's friend. Whether in private or at school, Lu Yi always seemed to shine, bringing warmth to Xia Lin. At some point, Xia Lin fell in love with him. For her eighteenth birthday, Xia Lin wished to hold Lu Yi's hand and be with him. After the college entrance exams, Xia Lin confessed to Lu Yi, only to see him walking hand in hand with another girl, looking very intimate. Devastated, Xia Lin resolutely went abroad. Five years later, she returned. At twenty-three, Xia Lin finally fulfilled the dream she'd had at eighteen.
