The novel tells the story of designer Xu Nian, who was forced to return home when his father suffered a cerebral hemorrhage when he was accused of plagiarism in the workplace. He met his childhood sweetheart, doctor Xu Chong, in the hospital. As his father's illness went up and down, Xu Nian sorted through his belongings and discovered his father's letter of apology hidden in an iron box, his well-maintained bicycle, as well as Xu Chen's obsession with finding his lost mother and his silent protection of himself over the years. In the process of facing family trauma (the regret of their father's alcoholism, the regret of their mother's Alzheimer's disease) and workplace disputes (the revelation of the truth about plagiarism, the temptation of Beijing's high salary), the two gradually completed the redemption of each other and themselves. In the end, Xu Nian gave up her job in Beijing and opened a psychological counseling room in Linjiang. She and Xu Chen worked together to heal the scars with love and start a warm journey for the rest of their lives.
