   Three generations of perseverance couldn't withstand the collapse of an era. Three generations, some people guarded a city, a country, and some people. Did they hold on? —No. The Ming Dynasty fell, the Qing army entered the pass, and those they guarded died one after another. But when they were guarding, they didn't know the outcome. They only knew that as long as the city walls were there, they had to defend them; as long as their families were there, they had to protect them; as long as their brothers were there, they had to save them. As for the result, that was up to fate. This is an epic of ordinary people. There were no magic tricks, no defying destiny, only a group of ordinary people who desperately stood tall in the torrent of history.

The female lead's family members pass away one after another, and she goes bankrupt, ending up being supported by the scumbag's family for ten years. On the eve of their engagement, the scumbag cheats on her, and the female lead decisively runs away from the wedding.

Then the female lead goes abroad to study, returning two years later, and they begin to develop their relationship. One time, the male lead wants to introduce the female lead to his friends, but the female lead says she has plans, leading to an awkward encounter at a bar. The male lead seriously says that the female lead wouldn't do that, that she goes to bed on time, and that she gives off a very aloof vibe. Then the male lead's friend tells him, "Why don't you turn around and take a look?" The funniest part is that the male lead always carries his marriage certificate with him. The moment he pulls it out, not only is the female lead shocked, but I was shocked too.
