In 1985, in a small village in southern Henan, Liu Chunmei was abandoned by her husband's family on their wedding night and became the "unlucky person" pointed out in the village. A basin of cold water extinguished all her expectations for marriage, but it also awakened her deep-seated integrity. Faced with the oppression of her best relatives and the scorn of the village women, she gritted her teeth and broke off the relationship, vowing to live a decent life!
She has a keen intuition for herbal medicine, and her delicate hands seem to have miraculous effects on reviving dying plants and bringing comfort to the suffering people. But no one knows about this talent.
Just when she was stuck in the quagmire and struggling to survive, the rough-looking officer next door who was ten years older than her and exuded masculinity quietly broke into her life like a weak but firm light. He was calm and reserved, with an undoubted military character in his brows, but he always helped her in a calm manner when she was most distressed and helpless.
One is a "broken flower" who has been abandoned by the world, and the other is a famous "ascetic" officer. The contrast in age and status is like a long-planned ambiguity. When the throbbing deep in her heart breaks through the shackles of morality, and when the secular gaze burns her secret feelings, can she break free from the shackles of fate and write an unforgettable but unforgettable chapter with him in this turbulent era? This is not only a struggle to survive, but also a mutual redemption of two souls, a forbidden love that spans age and worldliness.
