A Marriage Partnership with No End Date

[Train driver × rail traffic controller]

[One couple + marriage before love + secret crush comes true + workplace growth + happy ending]

- Su Jun'an discovers that the calm, professional high-speed train driver on the radio is Gu Mingyi, the genius upperclassman she looked up to in school. He's also her new neighbor.

It seems like a perfect chance to get close to him, but when she tests the waters about his dating life, she hears Gu Mingyi's theory that “marriage is a partnership alliance.” Then he proposes a “partnership marriage,” dousing her hopes with cold water.

As Su Jun'an listens to him list the terms one by one, her heart aches with bitterness. Every word reminds her that this is nothing but a partnership.

-Three years later, Su Jun'an holds out her hand and says, “Mr. Gu Mingyi, our three-year ‘partnership marriage’ has expired. I'd like to propose renewing it, for an ‘indefinite’ term. What do you say?”

Gu Mingyi clasps her hand tightly. “Agreed. Let's renew it indefinitely.”

From admiring him from afar to standing shoulder to shoulder with him, from trainee dispatcher to technical lead, Su Jun'an has always worked to become a better version of herself. And now, the person she has loved from afar stands with her in a bright future.

“Our relationship is at its best when we love each other equally.”
