    The female lead comes from a well-off family, but her family's tradition is to rely on oneself. So even when she was tricked into going to the countryside, she managed to reunite with her parents on her own. Since her eldest brother couldn't take leave, she went to the island alone to pick up her younger siblings. Her second brother is considered her adopted son, but not really; he's the son of a close friend of her parents. He was traumatized by his parents' sacrifice and became mute. He was taken home by the female lead's maternal grandfather. Because the female lead was in poor health and couldn't go out, she read to him and made him medicinal meals. Eventually, he recovered and went to his biological grandparents' home in Beijing. He then chose to go undercover on the southwestern border to avenge his biological parents. Upon returning, he went directly to the northeast to find the female lead's family. At first, he thought he liked the female lead, but he found that she didn't like him and only saw him as a brother. So he decided to silently protect her. However, after meeting the female supporting character, he realized that his feelings for the female lead were only gratitude and brotherly affection. Perhaps because he had experienced life and death, he was very open-minded. Compared to the rest of his family, his reaction to the female lead's choice to be with the male lead was relatively mild. The male protagonist comes from a wealthy family. When he was young, someone sought revenge on his father and captured him. His father chose to save someone else, essentially abandoning him. At seven years old, he escaped on his own, only to encounter an organization that trains enemy agents from childhood. He was taken to the southwestern border but escaped again when no one was looking, and was found by the female protagonist. Her maternal grandparents discovered he was the child of their old comrade-in-arms and took them back to Beijing. However, the female protagonist was in poor health, and her mother had given birth to twins, so her grandparents took her back to their home. After they left, the male protagonist developed a high fever and forgot everything. His family felt indebted to him and spoiled him until his grandparents noticed something was wrong and took him in. Much later, his mother asked him to pick up his childhood betrothal bride, actually to rescue the female protagonist who had been sent to the countryside. However, because of the female protagonist's father's situation, he investigated her. The female lead didn't rely on him; instead, she used her medical skills to go to Northeast China, effectively severing her childhood betrothal from the male lead. However, she didn't expect the male lead to also be at that base in the Northeast. Perhaps due to childhood trauma, the male lead was somewhat extreme, initially harassing the female lead and even receiving a warning from her older brother. Her family didn't approve of him, but he quietly cared for her, supporting her dream of designing fighter jets, and they gradually got together. The female lead dreamed of designing fighter jets, and the male lead was a pilot. For his own dream, and also to fly the fighter jet designed by the female lead, he passed the test pilot exam. However, the female lead was constantly saving herself, others, the male lead, and her family.
