Plot Synopsis

Lang (Guo Tao) purchases an apartment in Beijing with the intention of building a life with his partner Jia (Tao Hong), who remains in Shanghai. While in Beijing, Lang crosses paths with a college student named Ye (Li Xiaoran), leading to an affair that concludes abruptly when Jia relocates to Beijing. Two years following their engagement, Lang accepts a work assignment in Los Angeles. While awaiting her travel visa, Jia forms a relationship with Bian (Xie Xiaodong), an anti-narcotics rookie officer, and ultimately decides to leave Lang.

Following Jia's departure, a burglar occupies the vacant apartment and illegally rents it to Ye. Upon returning from the United States, Lang discovers Ye residing in his former residence, leading to an unexpected reunion.
