share time: 2025-11-19 02:30:59

Su Nian, a cultural relic restorer, has been trapped in the pain of her boyfriend Gu Zhao's sudden disappearance ten years ago—he was a geologist who left only the words, "The rest of my life is a wasteland without you." Until she receives Gu Zhao's old geology notebook, she uncovers the truth: he left to search for her missing father but died in an avalanche in the uninhabited wilderness. Su Nian sets out to retrace his steps, finding his carvings of "Waiting for Nian" on rocks and meeting herdsmen he helped. She finally understands his "wasteland" was every day without her, and her own emptiness came from not seeing his deep love. In the end, she makes peace with the past at a stone monument in the wilderness, continuing her work with Gu Zhao's wish—because the time they shared was never a wasteland, but a treasure worth cherishing.
