[Republican-era setting, strangers marry first and fall in love later]
Cen Shuoqi (Wan Yang) x Hua Weizhen
“Follow the stream upstream, and seek the one who seems to be there, in the middle of the water.”
Her father placed a photograph on her desk. The man in it wore a military uniform, his gaze as steely as a blade.
“He's a hero. You must marry him.”
She pushed the photograph back. “Father, heroes are meant to be respected, not married.”
▪️ HE, both have only been with each other, eight-year age gap. Secretly devoted love, she runs and he pursues, star-crossed lovers, life and death, reunion after a long separation... all thrown into one pot. The characters are by no means perfect, the story is limited by its historical setting, and no one is a pushover.
