"Guiyu" - There is an island in everyone's heart that they long to return to. Deep in the ancient town of Qingxi, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, there is an old house "Guiyu" that carries hundreds of years of memories. This is not only Zhao Nuannuan's efforts to protect her grandmother's legacy, but also a harbor where seven lonely hearts meet. When idealism encounters the impact of reality, when business logic collides with humanistic feelings, when seven urban young people with different backgrounds - a music producer who resigned, a painter who escaped commercialization, a technical man who discovered his conscience, a cultural scholar who insisted on academics, a stubborn wood carver, a responsible contractor, and a homestay host who insisted on his dream - jointly face business suppression, demolition threats, trust betrayal and survival crisis, what will they choose? This is a story about search and return, about the difficult choice between the coldness of the modern city and the warmth of the ancient town, between business interests and the humanistic spirit, and between personal dreams and collective responsibility. When heavy rain strikes, when funds run out, and friendships are tested, can this old house become a true "return island"? "Guiyu" not only tells the survival history of a B&B, but also the warm journey of a group of modern people looking for spiritual belonging in an impetuous era. It proves that in this fast-paced world, there are still people who are willing to believe in the power of temperature.
