It's Not Gratitude—I Want to Marry You

Sister Lan is seven years older than Tiezhu. To help him leave their mountain village, she mortgaged her house, pawned her silver bracelet, and took on his debts alone—all while hiding her love behind the words, “I only see you as a younger brother.” Three months later, Tiezhu returns and finds her being forced into marriage by a local bully. As debt rumors and cheating accusations swirl, he steps forward to protect her and boldly confesses: it isn’t gratitude—he wants to marry her. One fears holding the other back; the other refuses to retreat. Can they rise above worldly prejudice and turn their mutual devotion into a lifetime of warm, everyday love?
