Cheng Gong and Li Jiaqi are classmates and best friends, but their childhoods are hardly happy. Cheng Gong's mother ran away from her family with a licorice salesman, and Jiaqi struggles to earn the love of his father, who abandoned his wife and daughter for a better life. Beyond their family turmoil, Cheng Gong and Li Jiaqi share a passionate love of investigation, but little do they suspect that another secret brought to light will soon end their friendship and force them to grow up dramatically. While investigating a brutal crime committed during the Cultural Revolution, Jiaqi and Cheng Gong discover that their families were implicated, and the self-destruction that blighted their parents' lives stems from their grandfathers' dark past. Although the novel is full of truly Asian cruelty, Zhang Yueran shows Christian mercy to her heroes, leaving them with the opportunity to change their fate, atone for the sins of older generations, and overcome the trauma passed down through generations.
