    A little girl knocks on a strange man's front door. The second she steps inside, she claims she is the man's wife, who passed away 10 years ago. The girl rushes into the man's daughter's bedroom. She tells the girl, who is 10 years older than her, to call her mom. She then runs downstairs happily, standing in front of the portrait of the man's late wife. She blames him. The little girl tells the man, she is Xiaowei, his wife who died 10 years ago. She was reborn as a child. She suddenly regained all her past life memories today. A man's daughter thinks the little girl must be mentally unstable. She urges her dad to call the child's family right away. The man is totally shocked. He asks the little girl for her name. The girl replies, her current name is Wanli Hua Baishir. She is in fourth grade at elementary school, when she spots takeout containers on the dining table. The girl gets furious at once. She scolds the man, ever since I left you. You two have been eating like this non-stop, no matter how busy you are. You should always serve takeout on proper plates. The father and daughter are left speechless by the young girl's reprimand. The clock strikes six. The little girl slings her school bag over her shoulder and hurries home. Before leaving, she teases the man. We've been apart for 10 years. You've aged way too fast. After the girl leaves, the father feels stunned. The way this kid talks, along with her habit of serving food on plates, is exactly like his late wife. Early the next morning, the little girl shows up at the man's house again. She skillfully takes the spare key hidden under a flower pot and unlocks the front door. She heads straight to the storage room and retrieves the secret savings she hid years ago. She then picks up the photo album. She stares at pictures of her daughter growing up year after year, filled with old memories. But when she flips to the page of her daughter's 10th birthday, the page is blank. It seems the father and daughter have never gotten over her death. The girl immediately calls the man. He is completely confused as he listens to her words on his way back home at the train platform where he once dated his late wife.
