Xu Hongdou takes a bus to Dali, Yunnan, traveling winding mountain roads. While dragging her luggage in search of the “Youfeng Inn,” a young boy runs into her, sending her phone flying and destroying it on impact. The boy hastily apologizes and chases after a white horse, disappearing into the distance. With no way to communicate, Xu Hongdou has to ask for directions and luckily finds the inn. The innkeeper, Xie Xiaochun, is cheerful and friendly.

The inn is warm and beautiful, and the locals are simple and kind, which greatly pleases Xu Hongdou. After putting away her luggage, she asks Xie Xiaochun about the boy who chased the horse. Following her directions, she goes to their home and meets the boy, Xie Zhiyuan, and his older brother, Xie Zhiyao. Fortunately, the Xie family is not unreasonable.

When Xie Zhiyao learns of his brother’s mishap, he scolds him and then apologizes sincerely to Xu Hongdou, offering to discuss compensation. Xu Hongdou only wants her phone screen repaired, but there is no repair shop nearby—only in the old town. So she says she’ll get it fixed first and bring the receipt later for reimbursement. When Xie Anai hears that Xu Hongdou didn’t demand full compensation, she thinks she’s a good person.

Back at the inn, Xu Hongdou rearranges her room and then goes out exploring. Everything feels fresh and exciting, and she tastes authentic local food. When it’s time to pay, her phone doesn’t work, so the shop owner decides not to charge her. Xu Hongdou insists on paying and provides the inn’s address, promising to deliver the money later. Master woodcarver Xie Heshun notices his apprentice, Xie Xiaoxia, has been distracted lately.

He hasn’t finished a single piece in days and seems drawn to the outside world. Xie Heshun is disappointed. Xie Xiaoxia argues back, saying that skill means nothing if no one appreciates it and that he yearns to explore the big city. That afternoon, Xu Hongdou wanders the town with her camera, enjoying the beauty around her. Meanwhile, Xie Zhiyao is in a meeting assigning work to his colleagues.

Xie Heshun arrives to discuss a hotel’s woodcarving purchase but learns that they only want one piece now. Feeling slighted, he loses interest in doing business with the hotel. Xu Hongdou unknowingly steps into a pasture and steps in horse manure, getting her shoes stuck. Ranch owner Xie Zhiyao chuckles and offers her a ride on the white horse.

As they slowly ride back, they chat, and Xu Hongdou learns the horse’s name is “Little Cutie”—just like its sweet and gentle nature. When they pass through the old town, Xie Zhiyao buys her a pair of slippers. Though cheap, he haggles the price from twenty yuan down to ten. The girl selling the shoes gets a little jealous seeing how nice he is to Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou follows him into the village, where she meets more kind villagers and ends up staying at the Xie home for dinner. Aunt Baoping brings beef for the family. Xie Zhiyao and Xie Anai warmly host her, chatting and laughing. Aunt Baoping notices that Xie Xiaoxia is restless and asks Xie Zhiyao to talk to him. Xie Zhiyao understands that most woodwork now is machine-carved, and few people learn traditional hand carving, so young people don’t want to stay.

He agrees to discuss it with Xie Xiaochun first and then ask Xie Xiaoxia’s opinion. After dinner, Xu Hongdou calls her parents to let them know she’s safe, hiding the fact that she quit her job. Knowing she has no cash, Xie Zhiyao gives her 200 yuan to help out. But Xu Hongdou remembers the restaurant from earlier and decides to go repay the shop owner first.
