The Desire to Come Out of the Fireworks

The fallen leaves on Hengshan Road are silent In the late autumn of 2024, on Nanjing West Road in Shanghai, a top dating agency was looking for a son-in-law behind closed doors. Shanghai's rich and beautiful Liu Man, who owns three old bungalows, is a high-end publicist and is very bright and dazzling. However, her parents strictly selected her for three years and finally selected four elite son-in-law candidates. State-owned enterprise investment and financing Zhao Chengyu has powerful connections, American investor Wang Mingyuan is rich, Pudong demolition household Tian Qiang owns six properties, and the last person is Deng Mo, a rural designer in northern Jiangsu who Liu Man joined privately. He has no house, no car, and a student loan. He only has a sincere ideal of renewing the old city, which once illuminated Liu Man's heart with a beam of light. Two rounds of cruel tests revealed the most realistic background of marriage and love: everyone accepted the 200-square-meter flat in Xuhui Riverside with only her name written on it, but Deng Mo confessed that five years was only enough for the down payment; to help her career and life, the rich and powerful took turns, but he was the only one who understood her tiredness and was willing to share her ideal of keeping the city warm. With ridicule and cold eyes, Liu Man finally suppressed his heartbeat and handed the red rose to the well-matched Zhao Chengyu. Deng Mo turned around and disappeared among the fallen sycamore leaves on Hengshan Road, never to be heard from again. At the grand wedding, Liu Man became the bride that everyone envied, but there was nothing in her heart. Later, she learned that Deng Mo had left Shanghai, and that his ideals and projects had ultimately been defeated by class and reality. A game about recruiting a perfect match and a son-in-law, and a relationship hidden deep in the heart, illustrates how powerless ideals without material support are in the city, and how many silent regrets are hidden in a well-matched marriage.
