Falling Before Fireworks: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Si Qing, who works in a loan bank, leads a "vulgar" life in pursuit of a car, a house, and money. In order to recover a bad loan, she meets Jing Chen, a traditional craftsman, for the first time. One is a white-collar worker who is "kidnapped" by a debt collection mission, while the other is a cool handicraftsman who has no car, no house, and no money but owns an idyllic garden surrounded by green mountains and water. The two of them, who do not like each other, are entwined in a "fighting each other" way. On the day of the winter solstice, Si Qing, forgotten by her parents and isolated by her colleagues, is in a state of inner turmoil and on the verge of an adult breakdown. Jing Chen's bowl of eggs in sweet wine, a customary winter solstice treat, is mistaken by Siqing as the only warmth for her birthday so she impulsively proposes marriage. Jing Chen agrees to her request. However, marriage is only the beginning...
