   The female lead's grandfather is a military commander, and her father is a diplomatic ambassador, but she is a neurosurgeon with a combined bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree. The male lead comes from a wealthy family. Their relationship begins with a drunken joke by their ancestors, a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. There's no "white moonlight" (idealized love interest), no exes, and it's not a premeditated, calculated romance; they're just two complete strangers who end up getting married.

    He Shaoyan didn't believe her. Three years had passed; she'd threatened divorce, moved out, blocked him, and now she'd suddenly returned, saying she'd had a dream. He found it absurd. But he couldn't sleep that night and secretly went to see her. She was curled up on the hard bed in the guest room, mumbling something. He leaned closer to listen and heard her say, "He Shaoyan, don't shoot." He stood in the darkness for a long time. The military wives in the compound initially didn't like her, thinking she was too thin, too weak, and didn't seem like someone who could endure hardship. But later they discovered she could bake pastries, sew, and soothe crying children. Gradually, everyone liked her. He Shaoyan saw her laughing and chatting with others, his face pale. Someone asked him, "Does your cousin have a boyfriend?" He gripped his cup tightly, making a creaking sound.
