Even though it was just a dream, intrigued by its content, she starts searching for its meanings and interpretations. Today, Li Juan is a research scholar at the archaeology department and she is on a quest to find a lost city. While searching about the lost city, she realises that her past and present life is being intertwined with three men who claim to own her heart. "Li Juan, you belong to me," declared her Highschool crush who also happens to be her current boss. "Li Juan, we are destined to be together," proclaimed her celebrity crush. "Li Juan, both of our families, wants us to become a couple," proposed her family friend. "Wait a minute!!! Are you sure the "Li Juan" whom you all mentioning is really me?" Even Li Juan herself finds it difficult to believe their claims, " I am sorry to disappoint you all, but I have already fallen in love with my research career." "But Li Juan, I promised that I'll help you to find your Queen," A blurry image of a man from her memory reminded her. Who is that?

"Hey, this tree doesn't look that old, he is bluffing," Someone commented,
"Once the tree reaches its peak of age, a new sapling sprouted from the dying tree as a symbol of-" The guide stopped looked at the group and asked in anticipation, "Does anyone knows about the symbolisation of plum blossom?"
Teachers who led the group swept a glance across the students who were left in awkward silence,
Those kids who refuse to open their mouth in the classroom, how are they going to answer this question?
