Features: One is an urban migrant farmer whose family falls apart, facing the harsh realities of the world, seeking direction in pain and confusion. The other is an ordinary police officer with great ambitions, prioritizing power above all, losing himself in unscrupulous means. These two men with completely different spiritual temperaments meet in Meigang. Fate connects them, making them compete together, leaving their own loves, hatreds, and emotions behind in the city with the blue sea and sky, and also in their own lives. Can they find good in evil? Can they transcend the of fate? Perhaps everything is as Dostoevsky said: "We must not only squeeze out the evil from the bone marrow of sinners but also squeeze out their innocence." This is a contemporary Chinese novel that depicts: It's unknown why the city is called "Meigang." This subtropical coastal city has no plum blossoms.
