In a family that favors boys over girls, she is an unwanted, chubby little girl: insecure, sensitive, and eager to please, living in darkness and ignored by everyone.
Then Shen Yuzhou appears. He is the brightest boy on the whole street, the only light in her dark life.
He protects and cherishes her, guiding her as she goes from 170 pounds to 100, lifting her out of the dust and making her feel like a princess.
From childhood sweethearts to a love that goes both ways, from insecurity and timidity to healing through love, he spends a lifetime showing her how much she is cherished:
Zhao Lanzhi, you deserve all the tenderness in the world. I’ll protect you for the rest of my life.
