Features: This is a real and beautiful narration. Ten years of love fragments rot under the ancient city walls of Xi'an at dusk. A myriad of thoughts bring back the distant era, that naive and innocent youth. I am Zhanlan, a quiet writer, with childhood depression, youthful recklessness, and the lost paths encountered during growth—all like scenes from a movie passing by. Under the influence of inferiority and extremism, I made a meaningless bet with my virginity. I deviated from the trajectory of love, yet my heart still struggled with the belief in true love. Aunt Yun, An, Zhanlan, Youning, Yan Xiao; death, sexuality, incest, wandering, amnesia, betrayal, and sex trafficking—all are twisted manifestations of love. Looking back at ten years of painful seasons, only love remains.
