[Second Chance at Love | Reunion After Years Apart]
Rational, resilient product manager x prickly yet devoted town chief
To roll out a public health initiative for women's health, menstrual product manager Lin Shu takes her team deep into a remote township.
When their convoy gets stuck in the mud, deputy town chief Zhou Yu'an appears out of nowhere in an excavator.
Through the billowing dust, Lin Shu takes off her sunglasses and realizes that this muddy local official is the man she dumped five years ago.
Zhou Yu'an is warm and courteous to everyone, but with her, he sticks to business and speaks coldly.
Lin Shu just wants to avoid her ex, but his eyes turn resentful. "Do you really not want to see me that badly?"
Lin Shu is helpless. It seems he's here to collect a debt.

Zhou Yu'an can't quite put into words how he felt when he saw Lin Shu again.
She had ended their relationship unilaterally and left him behind. Now she was standing in front of him again.
He told himself to keep his distance, but couldn't help following everything she did.
Zhou Yu'an can only blame himself for being so hopeless. After all these years, he still can't forget her.
*
When Lin Shu sees Zhou Yu'an again five years later, she's at her best.
She's no longer the sensitive, insecure person she once was.
She gets back together with the person she loves and learns to accept a passionate love once more.
Keeping the promise they made when they were young, she finally stands before him.

Career storyline:
This remote township is conservative and isolated, and women's health remains a private matter that is difficult to talk about.
Lin Shu's talk on menstrual health meets with fierce opposition. As she investigates, she discovers that a hidden supply chain of low-quality menstrual products is damaging the health of women left behind in their villages.
Poverty and shame force them to suffer in silence, and many women are plagued by illness.
This time, Lin Shu decides to stay.
She won't just investigate. She'll also fight to give the women of this land another way out of poverty.
The moonlight will eventually shine into the deep ravines. Together, she and the women will carve out a path leading to open country.
