Song Zhiyi is a strikingly beautiful twenty-year-old college junior working as a newspaper intern. Despite her conservative appearance, her glamorous looks often attract unwanted attention from men. On the night of her birthday, she is harassed by a tattooed man in an alley. Instead of fleeing, she uses self-defense skills taught by her husband to subdue him. The police arrive, and the suspect is taken into custody. Song Zhiyi is also brought to the station to give a statement, where she encounters Captain Chen Mo, her husband.
Chen Mo is a tall, authoritative captain of the criminal investigation team. He is known for his strict discipline and legendary status in the police force. Their marriage is unconventional; it was arranged six months ago based on a promise Chen Mo made to Song Zhiyi’s brother. Song Qi, her brother, is currently in a vegetative state after being shot while stopping a drug trafficking operation. Chen Mo agreed to marry Song Zhiyi to protect her and fulfill his promise, but their relationship has remained distant and polite, resembling roommates rather than a married couple.
At the station, Chen Mo reprimands Song Zhiyi for fighting the suspect instead of calling him for help. As punishment for her recklessness, he makes her stand at attention for an hour on her birthday. Although she is upset, she eventually falls asleep waiting for him. Chen Mo later reveals he remembered her birthday and left a gift, a sapphire ring, by her bedside. The next morning, Song Zhiyi accidentally walks in on Chen Mo showering, leading to an awkward and tense interaction that highlights the growing sexual tension between them.
Song Zhiyi’s work as a reporter intersects with Chen Mo’s duties when a dismembered body is found in the suburbs. She is assigned to cover the crime scene alongside her colleague, Lin Qiqi. At the scene, Chen Mo protects Song Zhiyi from a crowd of onlookers and aggressive college students who try to flirt with her. He gives her a peach-flavored soda, her favorite, and insists on driving her home. The incident reveals Chen Mo’s possessive nature and his discomfort with other men showing interest in his wife.
The couple visits Chen Mo’s grandfather, a retired military general, for dinner. The grandfather encourages them to stay overnight, leading to Song Zhiyi and Chen Mo sharing a bed for the first time. Although they sleep separately, Chen Mo wakes up to find Song Zhiyi curled up against him. The next day, they visit Song Qi in the hospital. Chen Mo helps care for the comatose patient, reinforcing his commitment to protecting Song Zhiyi. During a grocery trip, Chen Mo buys condoms after Song Zhiyi accidentally picks them up, mistaking them for gum. He also discovers a package of lingerie sent by Song Zhiyi’s friend, Meng Yu, intended to spice up their marriage.
The narrative follows the gradual development of Song Zhiyi and Chen Mo’s relationship. Chen Mo struggles with his desire for Song Zhiyi while respecting her boundaries.

Chen Mo’s respect for her grows as he sees her determination and courage.

Chen Mo’s determination to catch the killer is fueled by his desire to ensure Song Zhiyi’s safety. The story builds toward a climax where the couple must face the dangers associated with the case together.
Song Zhiyi’s friendship with Meng Yu provides comic relief and advice on marital matters.

Chen Mo’s reaction to these gifts shows his growing interest and his attempt to navigate his desires while maintaining his disciplined exterior. The interactions between the characters highlight the cultural and personal dynamics of their relationship.
The setting of Bian City, with its military compound and bustling newsroom, provides a realistic environment for the story.

Chen Mo’s reputation as a capable and feared officer contrasts with his private life as a husband trying to connect with his wife.
