A love born across the divide was torn apart by Xia’s father when his daughter became pregnant by a construction worker. In the middle of a hard delivery, he forced the hero out, lied that the child was gone, and instead placed the baby in the hero’s care. A construction-site accident left the hero mentally impaired, and father and daughter survived by scavenging. Five years later, the heroine never gave up on the belief that he was still alive, even as the man in the hospital lay unconscious and deceived by her father.
