Synopsis

Wei Yihang, a boy suffering from cancer who claims to be able to "see the future," meets Ma Xiaoyuan, a girl also battling cancer who believes in "parallel worlds." They are both brain tumor patients, but their personalities and mindsets are vastly different. After undergoing brain surgery, Wei Yihang constantly faces the chilling summons of death, accompanied by the fear of relapse. He becomes somewhat cynical and withdrawn, but also melancholic and introverted. On the other hand, Ma Xiaoyuan's cheerful and optimistic nature brings a breath of fresh air to those around her.

Through a childish livestream with only eight viewers, Ma Xiaoyuan captures Wei Yihang's heart. He gradually emerges from his numbness, indifference, and self-abandonment, beginning to understand the hardships and struggles of his parents. He transitions from a state of despair to cherishing every second of being alive.
