Moths and Fire

Confident, beautiful military doctor x handsome, cold special forces soldier

★ Liang Jianzhi is a doctor who has just been disciplined and is laying low. Ji Zike is the commander of a special forces unit who has just earned a major commendation, but is now recovering from an injury.

Liang Jianzhi: "We're doctors, and they're patients. They come to us for treatment, and we treat them. We're equals. I don't need to treat them like gods and put my faith in them, and I won't treat them like customers or royalty, either."

"If the tense relationship between doctors and patients today can only be eased by doctors giving in, flattering them, and groveling, I would find that..."

"Very sad."

Ji Zike: Is Doctor Liang Jianzhi here?

Liang Jianzhi: That's me.

Ji Zike: A woman? Could you find me a male doctor, please?

Liang Jianzhi: Captain Ji, I'm a qualified doctor, and I'm fully responsible for your health during your military training. This is an assignment from my superiors!

And so...

Ji Zike walks toward Liang Jianzhi as he unbuckles his belt.

Liang Jianzhi: !!!

★ Eighteen years later, fate brings them together again.

Ji Zike: As long as you don't regret it and your conscience is clear, you don't need to care what other people think. We're travelers who carry heavy burdens through the night.

Many years later, Liang Jianzhi still remembers the sharp sweep of Ji Zike's foot passing her ankle, setting her flowing skirt in motion.

He saved my life! Liang Jianzhi thought. No wonder every story about a hero rescuing a beauty ends with her pledging herself to him.

Liang Jianzhi thought that was where their connection began, but their fates had already become intertwined eighteen years earlier. From then on, one dedicated herself to medicine, while the other walked alone through the darkness.

If you repay someone for saving your life by giving yourself to them, what about being saved twice?

Fate is so mysterious; it always makes you want to imagine what else might happen.

Was it coincidence? Maybe. But that beginning left a deep mark on her heart.

★ Liang Jianzhi thinks that in life, anything you want comes at a price.

She says, "Even if I know I'm flying into the flames, I still want to burn to ashes in your fire."

Liang Jianzhi doesn't think she's ever met anyone as taciturn and as good at ending conversations as Ji Zike, but fate...

Liang Jianzhi: Your father saved my mother, and you saved me. That means your family has saved me twice. You can't reject me!

Ji Zike: I knew that a long time ago. I didn't reject you then, and I won't now.

Liang Jianzhi: There are openings for doctors to go abroad with the escort team. Ji Zike...

Ji Zike: Do you want to go? I know it's your dream as a soldier. Come with us.

Liang Jianzhi: No. I wanted to tell you that I know I'm a soldier, but more importantly, I'm your military wife. I'll stay behind and take care of our little family, our parents, and the children. You can focus on your mission. And I'll miss you so much. If you don't see me on the medical team, don't be disappointed. It's not that I don't want to be with you; it's because I love you.

★ Liang Jianzhi x Ji Zike, a military romance. Because of his personal experiences, the male lead is quiet and cold. He shows his kindness to others without making a fuss. The female lead is beautiful, confident, and bold. She actively pursues the things she loves.

★ Guazi admires doctors and soldiers as professionals who contribute to society, but doesn't know much about them in detail. Most of what she knows comes from the news and TV dramas, so her knowledge is rather superficial, and there are bound to be inaccuracies in the descriptions. Just enjoy the story, cuties, and don't overthink it~

But I know my writing has flaws, and I welcome thoughtful comments from my lovely readers, as well as corrections where I've been inaccurate. Thank you all.

★ Most importantly, and the thing I'm worried about too!!! The beginning is a slow burn, so the pacing may be a little slow!!!

Theme: Love helps us become better people.
