Synopsis
An Jieluo, a skilled yet prideful physician from an affluent background, faces deep disappointment after being unable to save his terminally ill girlfriend. Following her revelation that she unintentionally transmitted HIV to a young girl during her medical internship, Jieluo embarks on a mission to find the child, Liping, who resides on Pehu Island with her mother, Li Xiaohan. Despite Xiaohan's attractive appearance, she endures hardship due to financial struggles and limited education but remains committed to improving her circumstances.
Tasked by his mother to aid in the island's renovation efforts, Jieluo moves into Xiaohan's guesthouse. When a dispute over land ownership emerges, Xiaohan steps in to help resolve the conflict. Their initially clashing personalities gradually give way to mutual respect and affection, with Jieluo assuming a paternal role for Liping. However, familial opposition threatens their budding relationship. To ensure the island’s redevelopment proceeds smoothly, Xiaohan chooses to end their relationship and vanishes. Heartbroken, Jieluo searches for her, but just as they are close to reuniting, a serious car accident puts both their lives at risk.
