Yang Fudong, one of the most influential contemporary artists in China, is known for his epic black-and-white films and photographs, which straddle the worlds of contemporary art installation and cinema. Moving Mountains is a 46-minute, black-and-white film, accompanied by photographs from the film set, drawings and props. The film is inspired by the ancient tale of a man, seeking to move a mountain, and extolls the virtues of perseverance and collective action. The artist makes this story a poetic reflection upon human nature and the shifting values to which it can be subjected.

At seventeen, math prodigy Shang Yihuai tutors a quick-witted girl named Liang Xia through a long summer of equations and margins full of things neither of them says out loud. Weeks before the college entrance exam he vanishes, leaving behind a notebook and a promise about Beijing that he never keeps. Eight years later, fighting to reclaim her parents' old house, Liang Xia takes the name Shen Sang and agrees to a contract marriage she wants no part of. The man she ends up married to is Shang Yiheng, cold and remote at the head of a company, and she has no idea who he really is.

Two self-contained stories built around the same pair. In one, Yu Wanwan has survived a dozen attempts on her life inside her own household. In the other, she looks too closely at a landscape painting and finds herself living inside it. Ji Liangyue is the one constant.

Gu Yuxi was brought into the Gu household as a companion for its son, bought and installed there before she was old enough to have any say in it. Years on, Gu Yanchen has never once called her his sister, and what has grown between them instead is something neither of them will say out loud.

Rural college student Li Xinyi flees home to escape an arranged marriage and her controlling family. During her escape, she accidentally crosses paths with billionaire CEO Gu Hansong, who quickly becomes drawn to her. After a chance encounter and a misunderstanding that pulls them apart, Xinyi discovers she is pregnant with his child—bringing their lives back together in an unexpected twist of fate.
