A master of the single-string zither, an intangible cultural heritage, VS a fire station chief.
A beautiful, sweet-voiced Jing woman from an ethnic minority x a passionate, upright fire station chief.
Both leads have only ever been with each other; a reunion after years apart; rekindled love. The heroine isn't love-struck and has her own independent career storyline.
At university
Li Yuchu: Song Qiyan, have you got time to date?
Song Qiyan: No time!
Later
Song Qiyan: Bro, I'm going to start dating!
Friend: Aren't you worried she's after your money or your looks?
Song Qiyan: If she is, then I'm pretty grateful to my parents.
Friend: ...You're beyond help!
He's long been under her spell, and only she can be his antidote.
It's hard for a man like him to fall in love. Once he does, it's for life.
Li Yuchu: She never knew what it felt like to fall for someone, until she met Song Qiyan. From then on, no one else could enter her heart.
They enjoyed several sweet years together.
Then she went abroad. The long separation left her insecure, and on top of that, real-world problems made it impossible for her to see a future for them. In the end, she broke up with him.
Song Qiyan: Break up? I don't agree. You're the one who came after me, and now you don't want to take responsibility?
Later, she blocked him completely.
They were young then, and neither knew how to deal with their problems. That's how they missed their chance.
Their reunion years later was something he'd planned for a long time.
Song Qiyan: Yuchu, you're the only one I want! If the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you!
Now more mature, they understand one another and offer each other support. This time, they won't let go or miss their chance again.
