A Date with the Future Storyline
An earthquake that occurred ten years ago witnessed a contract agreement made between a firefighter, Jin Shi Chuan (William Chan), and Xu Lai (Zhang Ruo Nan), a girl he managed to save. Although reluctant, in order to appease Xu Lai who at that time was trapped and thus injured and emotionally unstable, Jin Shi Chuan pretended to agree to the ‘ten year contract’.
Ten years later, a grown-up Xu Lai returns to China after completing her education as a journalist and being certified as an international dog trainer. An incident brought Xu Lai back to Jin Shi Chuan.
But Jin Shi Chuan did not recognize Xu Lai. He even misunderstood and regarded Xu Lai as an unscrupulous reporter.
When the Search and Rescue Dogs (SAR Dogs) team was formed, Xu Lai was involved as a dog trainer and was entrusted with being the head of the City Fire Rescue Special Service Brigade. This leads her to partner with Jin Shi Chuan, the captain of the dog Search and Rescue Unit.
