Overnight, Ji Shuheng transmigrates from a bestselling web novelist into an undocumented orphan in 1973.
After a taciturn demobilized soldier rescues her from a pool, she discovers she's penniless and doesn't even know how to light the stove.
Her savior's surname is Lu. He says little, has a cold expression, and always looks at her as if sizing her up. Wearing his oversized white shirt, she huddles on the earthen bed in his home, wondering how to find her cousin, Lu Qingchuan, so she'd have someone to rely on.
He doesn't know her secret, and she doesn't know his name.
When she sprains her ankle, he carries her home. When she sets the kitchen on fire, he says, “As long as you're all right.” When someone picks on her, he silently steps in to defend her.
Ji Shuheng thinks, Big Brother Lu may have a cold face and never say anything nice, but he always gets things done.
Then one day, she realizes what lies beneath his unruffled expression as he leans against the doorframe and listens to her say she's looking for Lu Qingchuan.
“You knew I was looking for you all along?”
The man is silent for a long time, then his ears turn red. “I've known since the first day.”
