Synopsis
Once, Guan Yubo (Lu Fangsheng) was the only top student in school who got into university, and his name became a legend. Now, four years later, fate brings Guan Yubo back to a closed town, where he becomes a local government worker. He thought he could escape this closed world, but after going in circles, he finds himself back at the starting point, feeling the irony of reality. Disappointed, he seeks solace in alcohol. One day, he unexpectedly meets Cheng Liwen (Yang Caiyu), who now works at a cooperative. Back in school, Guan Yubo had a crush on Cheng Liwen, but gradually forgot about it due to the distance. Now, as old dreams resurface, Guan Yubo's feelings for Cheng Liwen stir, but she remains indifferent to this despondent man.
