"I have only a single rose left in my pocket, and the road ahead is long and steep."
A child rejected by their parents doesn't cry. A child who doesn't cry gets no candy.
That's how Zhu Xun spent all fourteen years of her life: beaten and bullied.
Until one day, her younger brother framed her for breaking their father's favorite vase. Terrified, Zhu Xun hid at You Nan's house.
The neighbors said You Nan was strange. He never smiled, spoke little, and was gloomy and antisocial.
Yet when Zhu Xun broke down crying, he told her, "There's no need to fight over something that was never yours."
You Nan protected her for four whole years, then left when she was in ninth grade.
They reunited at the hospital.
On the day Zhu Xun became the surgeon she had always dreamed of being, You Nan lay quietly on the operating table.
Bad ending: The male lead dies during his mission, and the heroine dies saving someone.
Theme: May the land remain at peace
