This is an affectionate sadomasochistic epic that uses the tidal cycle as a metaphor for destiny. It tells the love story of Ye Yuyang and Gu Chaosheng that spanned six years and experienced the pressure of reality and the test of life and death. Due to a huge change in her family (her father is paralyzed), the female protagonist is forced to accept a bride price marriage and falls into the abyss of fertility oppression and domestic violence from a wealthy family; the male protagonist transforms into a law firm elite, secretly guarding the family with forbearance and restraint, and fighting for freedom for his lover through legal means. The story revolves around "separation-struggle-reunion-redemption", interspersed with dramatic plots such as court showdowns, night rescues, and tidal tokens. Finally, under the witness of the tide of fate, the two break through the shackles of the world and the tricks of fate, and fulfill the eternal promise of "more punctual than the tide" with a grand seaside wedding.
