    This is a love story about a retired female soldier who bravely ventures into the entertainment industry and encounters a wealthy second-generation heir. In this love story, it's not just about a domineering CEO, but also about a CEO who is devoted to love, silently paving the way and offering unwavering support. I was captivated by many characters in this story. There's Xia's mother's steadfast waiting, the silent support of the military wives, the trust in Chen Fei and Lu Yao, Xia Le's courage and perseverance, Zheng Zijing's quiet assistance, and Xia's father's former comrades-in-arms—each one shines brightly. The best lyrics are Xia Le's; every song she sings is a moving experience. Every competition, every performance, every piece of writing reveals her dedication, bringing tears to my eyes every time. But actually, the title only expresses part of the story; the writing is far more captivating. When you meet someone as wonderful as her, I hope you'll also be drawn to her, moved by her, and applaud her! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
