Chen Mo meets the mysterious Yao Ji (Zhang Tianai), Zhu Tou creates the worst wedding of all time, Mo Shi Ba experiences the saddest parting. These people's lives reveal things little by little.

In total, it earned $45.9 million in the four day period and $34.4 million in the Friday to Sunday period, according to data from Ent Group.[5] Although the film topped the box office in its country, internationally, it fell behind the Hollywood film, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.[6]
