Shen Man drags Gu Weidong, an injured and disabled soldier left unconscious at the entrance to the village, back to her home. Rumors cut like knives, and he despises himself for being a burden. In silence, she defies the whole world, offering him a bowl of medicine and tending to him with gentle hands, giving back his shattered dignity and holding fast to his will to die.
When the highest honor of a “War Hero” and a dazzling future in the capital arrive at once, he presents her with a marriage application he wrote long ago, even as honors pile up around him.
“I owe you my life. I can't face my future without you.”
This is a story of two scarred souls rescuing one another. Between honor and an ordinary life, they choose to become the surest refuge in each other's years to come.
Very nice, I highly recommend it. The soldiers of that era were really great. They suffered from battlefield trauma and disappointment in their families, but they were all brought back little by little by the heroine, who accompanied them silently. The final stay together.
The writing is very good, it feels like reading the articles in the Chinese language test paper
