In 1944, in the war-torn city of Nanjing, Ono, an 18-year-old Japanese girl, met Zhong Cheng, a Chinese youth, and the two immediately fell in love. However, the war separated the two in a foreign country. It was not until the war subsided and history changed that Ono, who was over fifty years old, returned to China to look for Zhong Cheng, only to realize that the person he loved was no longer alive. This love affair that spanned nearly half a century has finally been consigned to history.

Luliuju Restaurant is located at the confluence of the east and west streets in the center of the town. It is the largest restaurant in the town. It is said to be a restaurant, but in fact it is just a two-story ancient building from the Ming Dynasty. Xiao Yanqing rarely visits the restaurant on weekdays, leaving all daily business transactions to him. His distant nephew Liang Binggui is in charge. Shopkeeper Liang is in his early thirties, clean-skinned, elegant and reserved. He usually wears a poplin gown and a black felt hat. He writes calculations, comes in and out, never takes a break, and Xiao Yanqing never treats him as an outsider.
