A Chinese-French girl born of a crime returns to China with her mother at seventeen, where she meets her friends Shen Qingzhi and Jian Xichi.
The day Parisian rain falls into an old Shanghai alley, Qiao Yi receives the silver bracelet her mother mailed before she died. Hidden inside its compartment is a yellowed photograph: her mother, alone in France seventeen years ago, facing down drug traffickers.
The death of her friend Shen Qingzhi drags Qiao Yi into the abyss of her mother's escape all those years ago.
Jian Xichi slips warm milk tea into her frozen hands. A shipping label's code points to Qiao Yi's father, still in France. Beneath her grandfather's bed, they find a blood-written letter about the anti-drug campaign, hidden for twenty years. And their kiss falls on the old street where her mother was hunted down...
Her mother's solitary courage in going to France for revenge becomes the light that lets Qiao Yi and Jian Xichi pierce the darkness. Even when the poison-invitation carried by a white dove demands that they wield love as a blade, chew through the venom, and be reborn.
In the first half, she and Jian Xichi and their other friends save one another and grow together.
In the second half, she returns to France. William, her childhood friend from Britain, tries everything to make her stay. This powerful man begs for her love, only to discover that his beloved has fallen for another girl.
