Su Wan, a 30-year-old architectural designer, received news of her grandmother's death on the same day that her career collapsed and her seven-year relationship ended. She returned to the humid seaside town and took over the dilapidated bookstore "Xingluo" left by her grandmother. It contained her grandmother's unspoken life and her forgotten childhood.
The mysterious tenant Lu Zhiheng who always comes to the corner of the bookstore to read on rainy days, brings with him an old camera and a lot of secrets; Lin Xiaoman, a junior high school student who always sneaks in after school to read comics, hides the loneliness of his parents' divorce; her hard-spoken and soft-hearted mother quietly collects the broken glass in the bookstore for her...
The process of repairing the bookstore is also the process of Su Wan piecing together herself. She found her grandmother's diary in an old book and saw different lives in the readers' stories. Under Lu Zhiheng's silent protection, she slowly learned to reconcile with "imperfection".
When the warm light of the bookstore illuminates every rainy night, and when the wall of stories is covered with handwritten thoughts, Su Wan finally understands: the so-called hometown is a place where someone remembers you; the so-called courage is the determination to stand up again after being broken. And love is never about redemption, it is about two broken people piecing together a complete light.
Purpose: Women find the true meaning of self-worth and love in ordinary life through brokenness and reconstruction.
