Shen Nanxin, a sunny reporter who loves fiercely and hates fiercely, runs into Han Yi’an, a stern-looking detective with a warm heart. A ridiculous misunderstanding becomes the start of their fated relationship.
In a neon-lit bar, Han Yi’an is on a mission when he mistakes the “suspicious” Shen Nanxin for a suspect and takes her to the police station without giving her a chance to explain. The mix-up leaves Shen Nanxin holding a grudge. The next time they meet, there’s always a touch of self-righteous “resentment” in her eyes.
But fate has never been reasonable. Their frequent encounters at work let Shen Nanxin glimpse the tenderness and sense of responsibility beneath Han Yi’an’s steely exterior. He kneels to comfort frightened children, protects victims in moments of danger, and even looks irresistible when he concentrates on analyzing case files. Always one to speak her mind, Shen Nanxin immediately launches a passionate pursuit.
Han Yi’an isn’t unmoved. Shen Nanxin’s bright smile is like a ray of light, warming the years he has kept frozen. But when he learns about her privileged family background, the gulf between them and the danger of his job leave him feeling inferior and uncertain. He deliberately grows cold and distant, pushing away the heart that has steadfastly come to him.
Proud Shen Nanxin sees through his evasions and turns away with her head held high. Silence settles between them. Han Yi’an’s life returns to normal, but he keeps remembering the girl with the radiant smile.
That is, until Shen Nanxin’s older brother comes looking for him and wakes him up with a few words.
Those words are the key that unlocks Han Yi’an’s long-sealed heart. At last, he realizes that love is not a calculation of gains and losses. This time, it’s the ice-cold detective who drops his guard and sets out on the long road to win her back.
