Marriage first, love later; a realistic romance
To save her gravely ill mother, eighteen-year-old Wang Siya tearfully cuts ties with her first love and marries Zhou Zhengguo, a taciturn, rugged man.
A marriage contract and 30,000 yuan in bride price buy out her youth and dreams.
He is ten years older than her and knows nothing of romance, but he leaves a light on for her on rainy nights and, whenever she is wronged, stands up for her in the clumsiest way he can. Through his steadfast care over the years, her frozen heart gradually begins to melt.
