At twenty-eight, Lu Qingci is the youngest leader in the province. Song Yili is a twenty-year-old sophomore with nothing to her name. After chasing after him to ask, “Is the county hiring?” she became the youngest administrative clerk by his side. He would stay up late correcting her reports, and quietly bring her a cup of brown sugar and ginger tea when she had her period. Eight years apart, with their different positions and family backgrounds between them, she loved him cautiously. The night debt collectors came to the county office, she left a resignation letter and disappeared without a trace. Five years later, when they meet again, he hands her a cup of brown sugar and ginger tea, exactly as he did back then. “Song Yili, I took care of the things you were afraid of five years ago.”
