Cheng Gong and Li Jiaqi are classmates and best friends, but their childhood is hardly a happy one. Cheng Gong's mother ran away with a licorice seller, and Jiaqi unsuccessfully tries to earn the love of his father, who abandoned his wife and daughter for a better life. In addition to family dysfunction, Cheng Gong and Li Jiaqi are united by a passionate love of investigation, but the children do not suspect that the next mystery brought to light will soon put an end to their friendship and force them to grow up sharply. Investigating a brutal crime committed during the "Cultural Revolution," Jiaqi and Cheng Gong learn that their families were involved, and the self-destruction that poisoned their parents' lives grows out of their grandfathers' dark past. Although the novel is full of true Asian brutality, Zhang Yuezhan proves to be Christianly merciful to her characters; she leaves them to turn their fortunes around, atone for the sins of their elders, and overcome the trauma that has been passed down.
