On the outskirts of a bustling metropolis lay a place called Anning Town. Life here moved at a slow pace, with familiar faces all around, leading simple and peaceful lives. Lin Xiao, a young woman in her early twenties, lived in this small town. With long, glossy black hair and lively eyes that seemed to hold Xingchen, she possessed a gentle yet resilient character.
Lin Xiao worked in a small bookstore in the town, keeping company with books every day, which left her heart fulfilled and content. However, the turns of fate are always abrupt.

His paintings went unnoticed in local art galleries, and his life fell into hardship. To pursue his artistic dreams, he ran everywhere looking for opportunities, only to hit wall after wall.
