This isn't a wish-fulfillment story. It's grounded in reality, with everyday family matters and an ensemble cast. The male lead is determined to compete for her.
Zhao Anjing is straightforward and easygoing. In truth, she's thoughtful and knows her own mind, always clear about what she wants.
She knows her own limits and has no grand ambitions. Her dream is to find an easy job at a nearby factory, get a job that provides food rations, then marry a kind-tempered man with a steady job and live an ordinary, peaceful life.
Yang Shenzhi's first impression of Zhao Anjing was that her eyes were big and bright, filled with candor. Later, he realized she was popular with everyone, too.
He also noticed that she quietly helped his maternal grandparents, and mentally added “kind-hearted” to the list of her qualities.
To thank her, he quietly began returning the favor.
But whenever he saw her with another man, his heart would invariably ache with jealousy. It didn't take long for him to realize that he liked her.
Now that he'd fallen for her, he couldn't just stand by and watch her fall into another man's arms, especially when that man couldn't be trusted.
He had to make her see that man's true colors and let her know how he felt!
