During a chaotic struggle at the train station, Shen Huaijin, dressed in his military uniform, rescued Tang Yumu, a young scientific researcher.
Calm and self-possessed, she devoted herself to research, but her background brought her repeated setbacks and left her with nowhere to turn.
Steady and taciturn, he had long admired her writing and her integrity. He had secretly loved her for ten years, but never dared to say so.
Watching reality push her to the brink, he took the initiative and knocked on her door.
His gaze unwavering, he spoke each word with solemn conviction:
“Tang Yumu, marry me. I’ll use my position to clear the way for your research, and I’ll protect you no matter what.”
It wasn’t a deal. It was the deep affection he had hidden for ten years, finally spoken aloud.
After they married, suspicion, romantic rivals, and misunderstandings over old photos came one after another.
She thought she was only a substitute, never knowing that
he would give everything to protect her as she pursued her dream. She was the one he had cherished in his heart all along, his only favorite for ten years.
He defended his country, and she pursued her ideals. Their love in the 1980s would never let their meeting go to waste.
