This is a reflection of a more inclusive and diverse society.

Designer Wang Yi returned to Keqiao from Shanghai to attend her childhood friend’s wedding. She was enjoying the freedom of being single.

And she was influenced by her childhood friend, who was also her confidante. She boarded a boat that challenged her mindset and launched her on a different kind of journey.

The traditional expectations of parents are full of love and concern; the emotions from childhood to adulthood are full of the allure of marriage; the bar owner's intimate friendliness suggest recognition and acceptance. The intertwining of these three things creates a large net, trapping Wang Yi in an irresolvable situation. Will she stay alone at the helm and stick to her original choice of freedom?
