One unexpected encounter leads her to save Lin Suqiu, a woman who has lost all hope. Unafraid of A Leng's fierce appearance, Lin Suqiu brings her hot steamed buns, combs her hair, and sews her new clothes, treating her like her own beloved daughter.

From constant bickering to becoming inseparable, the two grow into each other's closest family over the long years. The once-cold riverbank becomes a place of warmth, everyday comforts, and belonging. This is a heartwarming, healing story about redemption, family bonds, and human kindness.
