From the Start: Things to Know:
1. Neither the male nor female lead is a virgin. The male lead once had a girlfriend he was about to marry, while the female lead is accomplished and independent, and lives an uninhibited romantic life.
2. The male lead suffered extensive burns while saving someone. Despite undergoing multiple surgeries, he still bears scars and is disfigured. His face isn't ugly after surgery, though it's not exactly easy on the eyes either.
3. At the beginning, the male lead is unstable, says inappropriate things to the female lead, and behaves violently.
4. Before the female lead truly cares for him, she does as she pleases and lives wildly, hurting the male lead's fragile, humble heart. There is a female-spoils-male dynamic.
Everyone who knows Chen Siyu thinks she's a contradiction.
Just how much of one?
While others work office jobs with high salaries, Chen Siyu braves the wind and rain.
As she got older, her parents hoped to hold a grandchild one day and wished their daughter would start a family of her own soon.
And eventually, Chen Siyu really did bring home a gentle, considerate househusband.
Male lead's perspective:
Jian Zhaowen was a hero who saved people from a fire, only to rescue a family of ungrateful, rotten-hearted people.
Extensive burns all over his body cost him his good looks and health, his career, and the girlfriend he had been about to marry.
Before meeting Chen Siyu, his world was pitch-black, and he'd lost all reason to keep living.
He thought Chen Siyu wanted to "save" him out of pity, with the saintly, innocent heart of a little white flower.
Only later did he learn that she was a true hero who had weathered every storm.
Chen Siyu: Every hero deserves respect. I'm not afraid of hardships, wind, or rain.
He hated how untamed she was, like the wind, how generous and considerate she was, like a cloud, and how her heart was as warm and searing as the sun.
And yet, he loved those qualities too, simply because they were all part of her.
I wasn't born a hero, but you became the irreplaceable hero in my heart.
A fiercely patriotic, freedom-loving woman x a pitiful man whose life finally takes a turn for the better and who at last sees the light
P.S. The author is terrible at writing blurbs, so just skim this one, okay?
