Eventually, circumstances lead to her being brought together with an unknown traveler named Hayato, her ex-boyfriend Shota who returns after living in Tokyo for the past seven years, and a woman named Riko who shares something with both of them. As they work at the diner together, their relationships reveal themselves differently than what they had in mind.

During the peace talks between the Imperial Court and the Western Regions the four princes from the first batallion publicly paid tribute to the fallen soldiers, but they were suddenly attacked by a group of "stray wolves". Was it the revenge of the Western Regions, the instigation of the Lord and the faction, or other mysterious forces that took the opportunity to make trouble? Bai Yutang was ordered to investigate the case of "Dare Maneater Wolf". With the help of his friend Yu Mo, he quickly discovered the truth of the so-called "Dare Maneater Wolf". They were all controlled by puppetry.

Shot in 1997 and premiered at Documenta XI in 2002, An Estranged Paradise displays many of Yang's signature motifs — crisp black-and-white 35mm cinematography, storylines that blur contemporaneity with traditional stylistics, homages to/revisions of genre cinema akin to the early work of his influences Jean-Luc Godard and Jim Jarmusch — while also reflecting his early studies as a painter, notably in a prologue that muses on the traditional methods and subjectivity of Chinese landscape painting. Set in the city of Hangzhou (where Yang had studied at the China Academy of Fine Art), the film takes as its focal point a restless young man, Zhu Zi, following him as he aimlessly wanders through the city. Through a series of distinct vignettes, Yang depicts Zhu Zi's inability to find comfort in friends, lovers or environment as a reflection of the existential difficulty of China's "nameless generation," cast adrift during the rapid changes at the turn of the millennium.
