Dr. Cheng Yuanqing, a psychology PhD from overseas, returns and is sponsored by a pharmaceutical company to publish an advertisement recruiting breast cancer patients to form a psychological therapy group. Diverse individuals—civil servants, elderly cadres, master's students, laid-off women workers, white-collar women, prostitutes, and disguised men—gather, each carrying complex life experiences and a mix of fear and resistance towards death. They collide and grow within the group. Hidden life secrets are gradually exposed, while a meticulously planned business war is approaching the cancer group. This is the first domestic novel in China with psychological therapy as its content.
