On the Mid-Autumn Festival night of a Jiangnan ancient town, Su Wan, who runs a century-old osmanthus cake shop, has been waiting in front of her shop for a decade. Her former lover Chen Yan left for the city to pursue studies, promising to enjoy the full moon and share the cake with her on Mid-Autumn Festival, but then vanished without a trace. Tonight, the light of a total lunar eclipse blankets the bluestone path. A strange man with a drawing bag stops in front of the shop. Just as Su Wan is about to drive him away, she sees him take out a polished silver osmanthus hairpin — the parting gift she gave him back then. He finally returns before the moon sets to keep this 10-year-late appointment.
