Without a word, he secures it above her bed, only to ask coldly, “Selling this dowry—do you think I’m dead?”
The story follows a hard-tempered military captain and a qipao-loving screenwriter with a soft resolve capable of melting his stern heart. This romance promises a mix of affection, resilience, and the warmth of familial tradition.
