In 2001, the entire Qinghai-Tibet Railway started construction.
On the snowy plateau, with biting wind and snow, a heavenly road stretches out in a desperate situation.
He is JJ Lin, a plateau health doctor who graduated from a prestigious school. He is calm and gentle, guarding the life and death line of the builders, but he also hides a heart that dares not be emotional.
She is Liu Yuqi, a hair-washing girl who came out of the mountains of Sichuan. She comes from a poor family and is full of stubbornness. She just wants to survive in the cold wind of the plateau.
Due to high altitude pulmonary edema, he snatched back his co-workers from death.
In a construction site accident, she protected him with her life.
Their identities are very different, but their love grows crazily on the hypoxic plateau.
Educational background, family background, status, construction site rumors, family pressure...
Layers of shackles trapped two people who loved each other deeply in the wind and snow in Hoh Xil.
They have loved, suffered, and struggled, but in the end they cannot overcome the gap of reality.
In 2006, Tianlu was opened to traffic and the whistle blew.
The railway leads to distant places, but their love will remain on the plateau forever, becoming a love affair on the road that cannot be healed in a lifetime.
This is a passionate era for builders, and it is also a love affair on the plateau that is doomed to regret.
