A failed marriage made Nian Zhen, a gold medal fitter engineer, leave home. With his extraordinary skills, he was transferred from a prosperous city to a remote third-tier town - Hongxing Machinery Factory.
She just wanted to immerse herself in her career and stay away from love, but she didn't want to live in a family compound in the factory area and become the neighbor of Lu Weimin, the maintenance section chief who was known for his cold-faced demeanor.
Lu Weimin, a widower with a child, pretends to be his dead wife in his heart and only has work in his eyes. He is the "living king of hell" that all the young women in the factory only dare to watch from a distance and dare not approach.
When they first met, he thought she was a suspicious person, with eyes as sharp as an eagle.
Goodbye, she repaired a scrapped imported machine tool with her bare hands, and her skills amazed the audience.
Later, when a water pipe burst in his house in the middle of the night, she took the wrench and took it easy; his son was sick and was at a loss, but she warmed his heart with a bowl of hot noodle soup.
The iceberg is getting warmer little by little, and the iron tree finally wants to bloom.
When Lu Weimin handed over the lunch box he packed by himself, Cheng Nianzhen took a step back and said calmly and distantly: "Chief Lu, we are just neighbors."
Lu Weimin pressed forward step by step, blocking her in the corner of the roaring workshop. His eyes were filled with uncontrollable heat: "Nian Nian, if the machine is broken, it can be repaired. But if the human heart is moved, how can we fix it?"
This is a story about two emotionally broken adults who, in the wave of the 1980s, tested each other and healed each other, and rediscovered the ability to love in the extreme pull of the water.
