By seniority, Yang Xian is her uncle. Behind closed doors, he’s the husband who shares her bed.
Back then, the Yuan family was on the brink of ruin. She was an orphaned girl with only her widowed mother, while everyone around them watched like predators.
Just like their names, Yuan Man’s life was anything but complete, while Yang Xian lived the life she envied.
She is a highly educated, talented archaeologist whose career is taking off. He is a tough, battle-hardened military officer, aloof and proud.
They married in a whirlwind and got their marriage license, but there was no proper wedding or diamond ring. All she got was half a year alone in an empty home.
When Yuan Man formally asked for a divorce at the military district’s family compound,
Yang Xian was nothing like the proud, favored son of heaven. His eyes red, he knelt on one knee, held her hand, and spoke with a tight throat: “Don’t divorce me. You can have anything you want.”

Later, they went through a lot together.
They uncovered the truth and cleared her father’s name.
She was framed and left on the brink of death.
When Yuan Man was bedridden and weak with illness,
Yang Xian said nothing. He simply stayed by her side.

On the day they held their wedding ceremony, Yuan Man finally asked the question that had troubled her for so long:
“Yang Xian, who exactly is the woman you’ve always loved?”
“She’s far away, yet close at hand...”
“Right in front of you?”
