Though he appears distant, reserved, and surprisingly old-fashioned due to his harsh circumstances, he would do anything to give his sibling a safe, stable life. His world shifts when he meets Wei Zhiyuan, a quiet stray boy who wanders into their lives and stays forever. As years pass, the trio builds a warm, cozy home from scratch.
