    • Synopsis
    • Cheng Fei has been raised by his father and grandmother without mother since he was a child. After his grandmother passed away, he became even more rebellious. In the summer of 2007, he found a missing person notice in his father's room, and it was his online friend "Swallowtail Butterfly", He Sheng, whom he had lost for two years. He disguised and moved in with He Sheng’s mother. The mysterious disappearance of his half-blood sister, her eccentric mother, and the deeply buried lies of Cheng Fei’s father were a series of events that shattered Cheng Fei's peaceful life. In the fog of two families' past, he gradually approaches the dusty truth of many years.
