In 2002, you were eight, and your eighteen-year-old brother accompanied your parents to visit their old comrade-in-arms, Uncle Tan, and his family. That was the first time you met Tan Jianci. He had been accepted into the affiliated middle school of the Beijing Dance Academy and was about to leave for Beijing to study.
In 2012, your brother was killed in the line of duty. You went with your parents all the way to a compound on the outskirts of Beijing to collect his ashes. Uncle Tan bustled around, taking care of everything, while Tan Jianci remained silent, only offering you a quiet “My condolences.”
In 2022, you returned from studying abroad. The Tan family hosted you and your parents to welcome you home. Tan Jianci ruffled your hair and said, “Long time no see.”
He had become a superstar known to everyone, but in your eyes, he was still the older brother who had once stood up for you and scared off your harasser.
The person who should have called you little sis was gone. He still wanted to protect you. Was it because your family was full of loyal heroes, and you wouldn't stand in the way of his career?
In a love that crosses the Straits of Lingding, who will take the first step toward the other?
Theme: A lasting love between equals, built on mutual trust and support
