From the perspective of Crimean girl Aliona Ivanova, the epic story of exile runs through the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the aftermath of the Russo-Ukrainian War.

This is a story about the "quagmire", which is the workplace. Mian Gua-a technical man who has been beaten down by life and is a little weak, but he still has a little bit of energy in his heart. He was once trapped in a quagmire of desire and frustration. He embezzled public funds through online chats, was stigmatized, and was sent to a desolate construction site. He thought that was the bottom of his life. The larger quagmire he saw was called "Suavemente". Dressed in a warm coat of "flexibility", it penetrates into the reinforced concrete jungle and breeds greed, lies and injustice. From the quality inspector who embezzled the small treasury, to the contractor who controlled the "ghost garbage truck", to the moth who used "data beauty" to whitewash peace... Miangua was involved in it again and again, struggling, choking, and almost suffocating. This is also a story about "light". That light is the cold luster of the modified asphalt in Su Xiao's hands in the laboratory, the light of reason reflected from the precise joints of the prefabricated wall panels, and the transparent future that Liang Xue is trying to lock with the blockchain. What's more, in the cracks of despair, Miangua has always been holding on to the piece of concrete with a smiling face on it - a weak but stubborn belief derived from technology and conscience. Welcome to the world of noodles. There is no superhero here, just an ordinary person who stumbles forward between the quagmire and the glimmer of light, and finally learns to live in a "rooted" way. His story may also be a small footnote in this roaring era.
