The Lighthouse Keeper and the Marine Biologist

Set in China's Xisha Islands, this is a love story about a young lighthouse keeper who has inherited his ancestors' mission of guarding a remote island lighthouse, and a marine biologist who comes to study coral bleaching. They go from clashing over their beliefs to healing each other and protecting the sea together. The male lead is devoted to tradition, believing that keeping watch matters above all else. The female lead relies on technology, convinced that data can save the ocean. When a powerful typhoon strikes, the lighthouse loses power and modern equipment fails. The two must rely on each other's most fundamental knowledge and beliefs to weather the crisis. Their love deepens as they face life and death together, and they find a way to unite traditional wisdom and modern science in protecting the ocean. The story sets the “lighthouse” and “coral” side by side as images that are at once in conflict and complementary: one shines upward into the sky, the other nourishes the sea below; one belongs to the past, the other points toward the future. Their love is no decorative romance. It grows from their shared mission of protection, becoming a force strong enough to withstand any storm. This is the kind of love story our times need: not one that escapes the world, but one about making the world better together.
