Despite his seemingly unruly demeanor, Ye Ling's eyes reveal deep solitude. Just as everyone mocks him for not even being a low-level genius, Ye Ling faces the shattered crystal, and the hidden truth is about to be unveiled.

Here, Ye Ling spent fifteen years, but with few memories to cherish, only pain and struggle. The banyan tree still bears the marks of his grip.
