A simple and kind-hearted mountain village boy shouldered the burden of the family when the family suffered huge changes. However, when the family affairs gradually calmed down and it was time to consider his own marriage, he had no choice but to find that he was already an older young man, and the girls around him had also undergone earth-shaking changes with the society. Because his family was poor, he was continuously rejected by others on blind dates. After being hurt again and again, he finally chose to step out of the small mountain village and go to a world he did not understand.
