Female lead: Lu Liaoliao
Male lead: Xie Ran
Seven-year age gap
At 28, Lu Liaoliao has a stable life with her boyfriend and a future she can already see laid out before her. An unexpected change in their relationship catches her off guard just as she's preparing to get married.
The newly appointed district chief is stern and reserved, but carries none of the airs of a leader. He's knowledgeable, emotionally intelligent, and steady, making him an excellent mentor at work.
After breaking up with her boyfriend, Lu Liaoliao devotes herself entirely to her work. As she gets to know Xie Ran better, she falls completely for his personal charm and learns about the eventful first half of his life.
Unbeknownst to anyone, these two people with nothing in common have already become deeply entangled with one another.
In the dark, Lu Liaoliao silently sheds tears, yet her voice betrays not the slightest hint of sorrow. She asks Xie Ran, “If we don't get together, if we never fell in love, would life leave us alone and let us live a little more easily?”
Xie Ran holds her hand tightly and says, “I'm sorry loving me has been so hard, Liaoliao. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything.” What he doesn't say is: I love you, so I'll protect you.

How could it be possible that the newcomer directly checked the materials with the district chief? The materials were reviewed at all levels and then reviewed by the contact person of the senior leader. And how can a government employee who writes documents get off work normally? Working overtime until early in the morning and taking weekends off are commonplace, and gwy is really not a quiet time.
