After transmigrating into an insignificant character with the same name in an 1980s novel, Xu Mingyue tears up the script. When her scumbag fiancé tries to manipulate her, she exposes his fake act in front of everyone and dumps him without hesitation. When she’s penniless, the burly veteran with a scar through his brow brings her a bag of flour in the dead of night.
They say he has a terrible temper, has done time in prison, and has outlived every member of his family. Yet time and again, he reaches out to help her.
When a widow falsely accuses him, Xu Mingyue steps forward. “My boyfriend was with me last night.”
In an era when rumors can devour a person, Xu Mingyue tells Chen Xiao, “We can date, but either of us has the right to call it off at any time.”
