This is a full-length novel set in an urban setting, depicting the shattered dreams of North American immigration and the irreparable wounds of a broken marriage. Young couple Cheng Yawei and Han Mengmeng embark on their journey to immigrate to Canada with high spirits. However, the cold reality of life in a foreign land—financial hardship, cultural barriers, a loss of identity, and the loneliness of not fitting in—is like buckets of cold water, quickly extinguishing their initial enthusiasm and exposing the suffocating gap between ideals and reality. Han Mengmeng's inner balance begins to tilt; the emotional void leads her to seek solace elsewhere, ultimately resulting in an affair. Her husband, Cheng Yawei, strives to return to school and finds a new job in the United States. He chooses to "forgive and forget," vowing to start over with his wife. But "reconciliation" is ultimately just an illusion; the rift between them is already irreparable.
