Chasing Whales

At eighteen, Meng Li fell in love with someone without hesitation.

His name was Chen Shuo. He was the class monitor of Senior Class 3, a teacher-approved candidate for top universities, and the school's brightest star: first in the grade every time, and a scholarship winner year after year.

Unfortunately, by the time she met him, rumors about his difficult life were already following him around: his father had died in an accident at a construction site, and his mother had remarried.

On the day Chen Shuo dropped out, Meng Li skipped class and ran to the school gates to sneak a look at him.

In a panic, Meng Li shouted, "Chen Shuo, I like you!"

Chen Shuo glanced back at her as if she were crazy.

Six years later, they met again in a run-down little county town.

Meng Li thought he was just some shabby mechanic. She had no idea that he was also an inn owner, a forest ranger protecting wildlife, and a key figure in poverty alleviation efforts in rural western Sichuan.

After a few run-ins, Chen Shuo glared at her and cursed coldly, "Meng Li, I don't owe you a damn thing."

Later, sparks flew and their relationship progressed by leaps and bounds.

After Meng Li returned to Beicheng, she deliberately sent him a teasing message. He brazenly replied: "Try finding another man and I'll break your legs."

"Chen Shuo, what is your destiny?"

"Catch poachers and develop all of Xichuan."

*Rugged male lead, mature adults

*Brash mechanic vs. proud heiress

*Both leads have only been with each other, and neither is perfect

*Protecting wildlife is everyone's responsibility
