At twenty, Shen Zhi, a young woman from a small town, falls for Gu Yanchen, the gentlest fire captain in the city. No one knows that this everyday hero in bright orange is actually a top tycoon who has gone into hiding. He saves all his tenderness for her: after a callout, he takes the long way home to buy her strawberry cake; before heading out on a late-night call, he soothes her to sleep. When she has a fever and he cannot leave his post, he keeps asking his friends, “Please keep an eye on her for me. Don’t let her get scared.”

There is also Shen Chunsheng, the bodyguard whom Shen Zhi’s father found on a snowy night. He is supposed to protect her, but in truth, he considers her his whole life. Anyone who makes Shen Zhi shed a tear will have to get past him first. Whenever Gu Yanchen comes to visit, Shen Chunsheng thinks the man is taking advantage of her. As soon as the door opens, he wants to beat him up before hearing him out. The world laughs at Shen Zhi for reaching above her station, never realizing that the truly untouchable elite treats her like the most precious child in the world.

Feeling inferior, she asks Gu Yanchen to break up. Red-eyed, he pleads, “Little one, tell me what I did wrong. I’ll change.” But she still disappears for three years. When they meet again, she is independent and radiant. The top tycoon, now out of uniform, takes her hand and slips a ring onto her finger. “This time, I’m not chasing you. You’re coming home with me.” Shen Chunsheng stands behind the door, his fists itching again.
