Synopsis

Hong moved to Chongqing with her daughter Ye after her divorce. Ten years after that, Hong’s new boyfriend Liu eventually moved to live with them, though Ye was still sentimentally attached to his father Feng. Ye started to get confused about Liu’s attitude towards her and she could barely distinguish care from the offense. The feeling of ambiguity pushed her back to some old memories and dreams. Until Hong and Liu left the house, Ye decided to escape and go back to her hometown. However, her hometown disappeared in a night several years ago....
