One-sentence summary: A rags-to-riches business story about a girl from humble beginnings who leads the traditional auto manufacturing industry through its transition to new energy.

(I dedicate this story to the hope that China's auto manufacturing industry will continue to thrive.)

[Mature man and woman / Matched in strength]

Eight years ago, a stunning young woman arrived on the East Coast. Men went crazy for her, and women were jealous.

Before long, rumors about her were everywhere. They said she had the most beautiful face and the filthiest body.

Beneath the silvery moonlight, the wounds on her body were horrifying. Countless cold jeers and scorn cut into her pure skin like knives.

Amid all those strange looks, he brought her home without hesitation, shielding her from every thorn in her path.

But when the first light of dawn fell into the empty room, he lost his mind.

She was gone, but she left her innocence forever on the East Coast, and left it to him.

Eight years later, they met again among the barren hills of the Northwest.

She told others she didn't know him, but he cornered her in a cramped space, his gaze burning as if to melt her. "Looks like you have a bad memory. You can even forget your first man? Don't worry, I'll help you remember, little by little."

[Beautiful, strong, and tragic heroine VS. loyal puppy-like hero]
