Modern girl Lin Xiaoman agrees to the old pact of "the river god's marriage" to save her terminally ill grandfather. She boards a boat to the river-center island at midnight, only to crash into the arms of Gu Zhao, a少年 sealed for a century. He once protected the village from floods but was branded "ominous" and sealed by the villagers—only the tears of a true heart can break the curse. Xiaoman initially wants to trade her "bride" status for her grandfather's medicine, but as they spend time together, she sees the tenderness beneath Gu Zhao's cold exterior. However, her grandfather's condition suddenly worsens, and rumors of "the river god slaughtering the village" spread—someone is behind it, trying to use her to destroy Gu Zhao. She must tearfully choose between saving her family and protecting her lover, while Gu Zhao's seal is breaking inch by inch, with every beat of her heart...
