Xu Qinglan, a talented architectural student, had a wasted life in her previous life: her father was killed in the Wenchuan earthquake, her relatives and friends suffered tragic fates, and her husband, who she fell in love with at first sight, betrayed her after he became successful. On her deathbed, she returned to 2005, only three years before the catastrophe.
This year, she coincided with the deadline for registration for the minor in engineering management, and resolutely resisted the prejudice that "girls are not suitable for engineering" to develop a full set of professional capabilities in costing, risk control, and earthquake resistance. She has twenty years of experience in the infrastructure industry, but she cannot speak out about the disaster. She can only rely on drawings, inspection data and compliance plans to plan step by step.
In order to protect her family, she no longer has no bottom line: when her brother-in-law was involved in theft and gambling, she called the police in accordance with the law and provided him with treatment and a way to make a living; her aunt was owed money for a project, and she recovered the debt with complete evidence and made her first pot of gold; she checked for hidden dangers in the school building and factory building in advance, developed earthquake-resistant light steel components, and quietly prepared emergency supplies for disasters.
Tianqiao reunites with her former love Lu Jiming, and her heart is still moved, but the scar of betrayal lies between them, and she is unwilling to give up her trust easily. Wen Yanqing, a senior in the industry, understands her architectural ideals and emotional trauma, and becomes a special confidant. The two relationships are constantly in tension.
The earthquake hit as expected. After the disaster, she relied on her solid skills to win the reconstruction project and founded Hengchuan Engineering. Along the way, they fight against the industry chaos of cutting corners and rigging bids to make profits, resist the temptations brought by capital, fame, and ambiguity, and lead their families with flaws to find a way to make an independent living.
From a campus consulting studio to a large-scale group deploying green infrastructure at home and abroad, Xu Qinglan built bridges and houses to rebuild broken family ties and jeopardized trust. Finally, in the midst of thousands of lights, she stood side by side with Lu Jiming, who had learned to stick to the bottom line.
