In the sixteenth year of the Republic of China, the world was in turmoil. An arranged marriage contract marries the scholarly girl Yao Rou to the general Lu Shiheng. At first, Yao Rou was full of resistance and was indifferent to him, believing that this was just a loveless bondage.
Lu Shiheng had been deeply in love with her for a long time. After five years of marriage, he tolerated and gave in, guarding her silently with tenderness and gentleness, never forcing anything. After years of getting along, Yao Rou's frozen heart gradually melted, and Yao Rou finally let go of her guard and truly fell in love with him.
Just when the love between the two was at its strongest, the family and the country were in danger, Lu Shiheng rushed to the front line, and was never heard from again. Yao Rou waited ten years while pregnant, but what she waited for was the news that he had already died for his country.
From then on, she never married and raised her young son alone, missing him year after year. After half a lifetime of ups and downs, it finally ended peacefully at the age of seventy. He died for his country to live up to the world, and she spent the rest of her life watching to live up to her lovesickness.
