Synopsis

[The rating has just been released and will rise later] [Childhood sweethearts + reunion after years apart + intense push and pull + reconciliation + saving each other + happy ending]

Rising journalist Su Ruobing's first solo interview brings her face-to-face with Xu Can, her first love who vanished without a trace six years ago!

The computer prodigy who once cherished her and swore to protect her forever has become a hard-as-iron fire captain in a special operations squad. A jagged scar runs along his neck, and he looks at her with more coldness than he would show a stranger.

He actually dares to say, “The Xu Can from six years ago is dead.”

She slaps him awake. “That's a lie. He's not dead!”

Reuniting is hell.

Su Ruobing hates Xu Can: she hates that he disappeared without a word, and hates his cold indifference even more.

He treats her like a hazard and keeps his distance, but she insists on tearing away his pitiful disguise.

When a fake fire extinguisher at a highway accident claims lives, when he shields her from a falling boulder during an earthquake rescue, when she squeezes into a deadly crevice to fight alongside him…

That's when she discovers that beneath the ice that keeps everyone at bay burns a fire hot enough to consume him.

Until one night, she stumbles upon the secret that has been burning him alive.

That scar hides the inferno that devoured his past;

his “death” was a desperate act of protection she could never reach.

She presses him at every turn. “Xu Can, you don't get to run away this time! Even if you're dead, I'll dig your bones out of the grave with my own hands.”

He gives in, step by step. “Don't cry. Don't be scared… I'll be there in a second.”

When childhood love withers and the sweetheart of youth is lost,

they burn away the past and are reborn through fire.

He thought pushing her away would protect her.

She kisses his scar. “Serves you right! Does it hurt?”

The shadows of the past finally disappear. Captain Xu bends down and murmurs by her ear with a laugh, “Reporter Su, when are you finally going to pay the appearance fee you promised me?”
