The characters are wonderfully developed, the plot is fantastic, and I highly recommend it. The prices during that era feel incredibly realistic, which is a huge plus for a discerning bookworm like myself. The female lead is a kind, gentle, and positive doctor who never hesitates to confront even the most wicked villains. The male lead is a handsome and incredibly capable soldier who initially doesn't know the female lead is the sister his comrade wanted to introduce him to. I just watched the drama unfold, watching the male lead secretly fall for the female lead, while she focuses on her career and gradually reciprocates his feelings.

Once they have a child, they're no longer interested in each other, and they absolutely refuse to cross any lines before marriage. Why? Because the male lead is too innocent. Xia Xiaolan did have moments where she wanted to seduce him, but she respected and cherished him more, treasuring their relationship.
