Li Wen, the eldest daughter of the Li family, disguised herself as a man since she was a child to support the family business, and walked around the world in the name of her elder brother. She is calm, reserved, good at strategy, and has a gentle heart hidden under her cold face.
Li Wan, an orphan left by his aunt, was adopted by the Li family as an infant and treated as his own. She is smart and cheerful, and has good embroidery skills with her skillful hands, but she does not know her own life experience, let alone the dependence on her "brother" in her heart that has long gone beyond the love between sisters.
That year something happened in the capital, his parents died, and his creditors came to visit. Li Wen sold his property and left Liucheng with his younger siblings. From renting a dilapidated courtyard to becoming the richest man in Liucheng, she spent two years building up a whole world just to protect that person for the rest of his life.
But troubles came one after another - Qian Wenshang, the son of the Minister of Household Affairs, coveted Li Wan's beauty, and used his power to bully others and press him step by step. While Li Wen secretly formed an alliance with the Prime Minister in Beijing to collect criminal evidence, he also committed dangerous crimes to attract evildoers into the situation. In prison, the torture was intensified. She gritted her teeth and refused to utter a single word, just waiting for an opportunity to protect the man behind her and prevent her from being wronged in the slightest.
When the truth was revealed, when years of forbearance turned into a kiss under the moon, they finally understood - it turned out that they had already been in love with each other.
This article is an old-fashioned and sweet story about the love between two female protagonists and their wives. One woman disguises herself as a man to protect her, while the other hides her thoughts and waits for the flowers to bloom. From the capital to Liucheng, from abjection to fortune, from forbearance to staying together. Here there is the passion for entrepreneurship working side by side, the thrill of fighting against evil forces, and the gentle daily life of flowing water.
Li's wife is the apple of her eye. In this life, I will protect you and let you grow old.
