A gentle, resilient Doctors Without Borders doctor × a diplomat who is cold on the outside but warm within
Shen Lie first met Lu Zhining during an evacuation operation.
He was hit by a stray bullet, and she came to save him.
The woman wore the white coat of Doctors Without Borders and a surgical mask that revealed a pair of vivid blue eyes.
Since the organization’s members came from all over the world, he never expected her to speak Chinese.
“Mr. Shen, you’ll get them all home safely, won’t you?”
Shen Lie gazed at her and answered with unwavering conviction. “Yes. My duty and my mission are to bring them safely back to our motherland.”
Lu Zhining smiled. Her blue eyes were like the sea, waves surging endlessly, drawing people in without their even realizing it.

Before meeting Lu Zhining, Shen Lie had never loved anyone. Perhaps it was because of his grandmother’s influence as he grew up, or perhaps it was because he had put on this uniform.
Before meeting Shen Lie, Lu Zhining had never loved anyone either. Perhaps it was because she had traveled from country to country with her father since childhood, treating the sick and saving lives, or perhaps she had simply grown accustomed to being alone.
She had never understood why her father devoted his whole life to medicine. But the day Shen Lie confessed his feelings for her, she suddenly understood.
Some people seem born with a mission, just like him, and just like her.
Lu Zhining could not give up the work to which she had devoted ten years of her life. But the change came without warning, and when it left, she had no time to say a word.

You are my wish, and my faith.
And our shared wish is world peace!
