In 1991, at the Beijing Broadcasting Institute, Li Yong and Ha Wen were both students at this academy.

Parents believe that Li Yong comes from an ordinary family, and his parents are both workers and have average conditions. And Harvin's father was a high-ranking official and had a wealthy family. The threshold for these two people is too high, and they are really a good match.
Li Yong repeatedly emphasized to his parents that Harvin was not the pampered eldest lady they imagined, and was very sensible and virtuous. But parents still can't change their perceptions and are prejudiced.

Now the old house is left with only Harvin living alone. She often misses Li Yong, and the bits and pieces of the two are vivid. There was a photo of them on the wall in the room, and Harvin sat in front of it, quietly distracted.
She was gray-haired, but she never stopped watching this family. Harvin is the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and this wait will continue until the last moment of his life.
