Rebirth in a different world (Part 1)

In a quiet mountain village where traditions run deep, Lu Ming - once feared for his fierce strength - has built a peaceful life with Yan Huan, the gentle healer who taught him how to love. Together they raise their son, Lu Chen, a bright, expressive child destined to reshape the lives around him.

But as Chen grows, his warm, fearless personality naturally draws others in - including Su Rong, a shy book-smart boy who becomes his closest friend. Their bond begins innocent, steady, and unwavering... until new emotions bloom between them.

And just as friendships deepen, another thread pulls tight:
Su Rong's own best friend, the calm and quietly sharp Wei Lian, crosses paths with Chen's future love interest - an elegant, sharp-tongued boy from a respected family. The two pairs find themselves entangled in a mirrored dance of affection, misunderstanding, jealousy, and unexpected devotion.

Meanwhile, old secrets in the village, new opportunities in the city, and the growing reputation of Lu Ming and Yan Huan's household attract attention - good and bad. As the new generation steps into adolescence and then adulthood, their intertwined relationships will test everything:

loyalty, courage, vulnerability, and the bravery required to love in a world that often fears the unfamiliar.

Across seasons, heartbreaks, festivals, and family conflicts, Chen and his circle of friends grow from children playing in the fields to young men discovering who they are - and who they cannot live without.

A tale of soul-deep bonds, slow-burning affection, family warmth, and two sets of best friends falling in love with each other...
all woven into a world where love is quiet, tender, and fiercely protected.
