Synopsis

In a quiet small train station, a worried woman arrived with a four-year-old girl, left behind a brown paper bag, and disappeared without a trace...

When Dai Jiahe (played by Chen Bozheng), the station master, saw the abandoned little girl, he immediately ran to comfort her, and told the legend of the wishing forest: "As long as you say good night to the forest every night for a thousand consecutive nights, your wish will come true!"

The little girl made a wish to "go home". After "a thousand good nights", the little girl's mother still did not arrive to pick her up. She was then adopted by the station master and got a new name "Dai Tian-qing".

To carry out her dad's wish and discover her roots, the grown-up Dai Tian-qing embarks on a journey around Taiwan and finds love and redemption on the way.[3]
