Su Nian is the only college student ever to leave the mountains.
She grew up with her grandfather, earned a full scholarship to a prestigious university, and eventually became the youngest lead engineer.
Then one day, she received a phone call.
"Your grandfather has passed away. He left some things for you to inherit. Come home."
After finishing her night-shift handover, she said to Shen Yu, the colleague who had been pursuing her, "About what you asked me before... I'm afraid I can't say yes. I have to go back and inherit what my grandfather left me. Maybe we'll meet again someday."
At the station exit, Su Nian saw a bald driver with a black mole on his head holding up a sign with her name on it.
She got in the car and watched the familiar yet strange scenery pass by the window. Before long, she fell asleep.
When Su Nian woke up, she found herself surrounded by peach blossoms blooming across the hills, beside the dilapidated old house she remembered.
The villagers were warm and welcoming, but strange.
Someone said the big fool at the head of town had made a hundred million at the market last night and moved to the big city to enjoy the good life.
Someone else came over, eager to buy the corn she'd just planted at an exorbitant price. "One hundred per ear! No, five hundred!" They begged her not to sell it to anyone else.
Another person whispered a mysterious warning: "Don't go to the market at night. You might get lost and never find your way back."
Every month, several people moved away from town, and then the bald driver brought in a few newcomers.
Everyone remembered choosing to stay. They all said they had come to make money.
Only Su Nian knew that the people who moved away would never come back.
Everyone else's memories were different from hers.
