When the educated youth return to the city, Su Wan faints at the neighborhood office and falls into a strong, cold embrace. The man who saves her is her fiancé, Lu Changfeng, whom she has never met.
A marriage contract leads her into a military compound ruled by a strict hierarchy.
Rumors, jealousy, schemes, and her parents' cold-heartedness come one after another.
With her pen as a blade, Su Wan uses her talent to carve out a place for herself between the classroom and the written word.
Yet the cold, taciturn regiment commander gives all his tenderness to her alone.
“I'll protect the country; you protect me.”
The story is a slow burn.
