*
Summer, 1913.
Beichuan City, battered by unrelenting rain.
Lin Xingmo returns home from studying overseas in a foreign country and opens a medical clinic using the skills she learned.
At their first meeting, she is a physician who treats the sick and saves lives, while he is a dutiful son who has come specifically to seek medical care.
After nightfall, the cramped little clinic is packed with imposing servants.
The man wears a perfectly pressed brown striped suit, making his tall, graceful bearing and noble air all the more striking.
A jade pendant and a marriage contract.
In exchange, they are bound together for the next thirty-six years.
But in the end, it all comes to nothing, like waking from a grand dream.
Home and country, affection and love.
Who can say who wins or loses?
-
When she was young, Lin Xingmo once knelt before Buddha and sincerely prayed, willing to sacrifice the love of this lifetime to pursue her lofty ideals for the rest of her life. So she casually smashed the jade pendant that represented her parents' arranged marriage. And yet, countless times afterward, she would briefly regret it.
