In this seemingly calm world, everyone is weaving their own lies. Some lies are like smoke, seemingly illusory, but they can hide the truth inside. The world of lies for adults is like a maze in a fog, making it difficult for people to find an exit and even more difficult to see the truth in it.
The protagonist of the story is a young man named Xiao Ming, who lives in an ordinary city and lives an ordinary life. He loves his family and loves his job, but he is also haunted by lies.
Xiao Ming's parents often quarrel over their marital problems, but they always pretend that everything is fine in front of him. Xiao Ming knows that their relationship is not as happy as they appear, but he chooses to believe their lies because he is unwilling to face the cruelty of reality.
At work, Xiao Ming finds himself misunderstood by his boss, and his colleagues talk about him behind his back. He tries to change all that by working hard, only to find that no matter how hard he tries, he can't change what others think of him. So, he chose to escape, choosing to use lies to cover up his insecurity and helplessness.
However, by chance, Xiao Ming meets a mysterious stranger. The stranger tells him that everyone has a true self in their hearts, but lies make us lose ourselves in the illusions we weave. He told Xiao Ming that only by bravely facing the fears and insecurities in his heart can he find a real way out.
As a result, Xiao Ming began to reflect on his life and began to examine the lies he faced. He realizes that the problems between his parents are not his fault, and that his job is not his only life value. He began to face his heart bravely and was no longer afraid of his true self.
In the end, Xiao Ming decides to leave the city full of lies and find a world of his own. He knows that facing reality is painful, but only by facing it bravely can he find his true self and find true happiness.
Through the smoke, Xiao Ming saw his truth and saw the light in his heart. He knows that no matter how difficult the future will be, he will face it bravely, because he knows that only in this way can true happiness be found.
