The background of the story is set in 1944 during the Second World War, where It's Denver, Colorado.

She was sent to a small rural Colorado village and entered into an arranged marriage to Ray Singleton, a lonely farmer, so that her child would have a "father."
When Li Wei arrived in the small town of Wilson, she and Lei looked at it silently looking at each other. Li Wei is tired of Lei's hard life, but she finds that Lei is a gentle and strong person who is born with kindness and wisdom. Over time, Livi gets to know the calm, down-to-earth, unassuming farmer and his sister Martha, a queen-like woman, and his family. Gradually, Li Wei unknowingly discovered that she might have found a real "home".
