Jiang Jia Qi, approaching the age of forty, is facing a deteriorating marital relationship as his wife cheated on him with her boss. Simultaneously, he is experiencing targeted hostility and suppression in the workplace. The dual pressures of career and marriage almost collapse him.
Zhou Yu An is burdened with huge debts due to the early deaths of her parents. She also has a bedridden grandmother whom she takes care of. However, her presence ignites and inspires Jiang Jia Qi’s withering life.
Around Jiang Jia Qi and Zhou Yu An, there are other people, such as Jiang Jia Qi’s uncle, who restarts his life by driving a small truck, his younger brother, who accepts failure and starts anew, a mother who silently protects her son, and friends who are willing to stand in front of them…
Due to the pressures of life, they meet, and their gradual alienation transforms into support and encouragement for each other. Their relationship, devoid of utilitarian value, becomes the spiritual and emotional nourishment for Jiang Jia Qi and eventually warms the cold exterior of Zhou Yu An.
