Tan Qing is the first girl to pass the exam from a small county to Beijing.
She hates the salty air here, the cramped streets, and the fate that adults say "women will eventually get married and have children."
So she ran away without looking back, burning her youth into ambition, and forcibly carved her way in the cold city.
Until her mother passed away, she had to return to the county where she was trapped in her youth.
On the night of the funeral, Tan Qing met Chongshan.
He is still the same, silent as a mute, but violent and crazy like wildfire when no one is around.
He is the son of a criminal and is destined to rot in the mud; but she is a bird that wants to fly high and cannot stay for him.
The reunion is like a belated reunion.
Tan Qing knew that the distance between Beijing and the county seat stood between them, the worldly prejudices stood between them, and the two people refused to talk about their stay first.
Intention: On the dumb bank of fate, we love each other crazily but can't cross it together in the end, just like two rivers flowing in parallel, always looking at each other but never intersecting.
