Lynn lives apart from her husband and her daughter in pursuit of her career, In her pseudo single life she starts dreaming of building a house for herself

Lynn (39) has lived apart from her husband Kenji (42) and daughter, enjoying a pseudo-single life in China. Pursuing her freedom, she dreams of building a house in her hometown, now a rising tourist hub. While working closely with Long (37), a married colleague, their growing attraction complicates her plans. Facing gender biases and local bureaucracy, Lynn strikes a deal for land, causing conflicts between the village councilor
and his divorced daughter. As her house nears completion, Lynn realizes it has come at the cost of estrangement from her husband, daughter, and even herself.
