    This is a really good-looking military novel. The male protagonist Li Zan is a demolition soldier of the peacekeeping force and the female protagonist Song Ran is a war reporter. The two should not have crossed paths, but Li Zan saved Song Ran's life. Their story line started. It was a bit sweet in the middle, but it was really sad at the end. It made my liver hurt when I read it. In the end, the male protagonist went crazy for a long time to save the female protagonist. In the end, the male protagonist suffered from stress disorder and committed suicide. In the end, the female protagonist Ye died on the battlefield.
