== Story ==
Two years prior to the events of the Donghua, Chen Bin became married, but due to his busy work as a police officer, Chen Bin is rarely able to spend time together with his wife. Even after two years, they have not held a proper wedding.
As a police officer, Chen Bin initially worked under Qian Jin, but was later transferred to work under Xiao Li. He is first seen in the series assisting Xiao Li with the kidnapping case of Doudou.
Chen Bin continues to be involved in the following serial killing case. With the help of Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang, they successfully capture Liu Min. However, it soon becomes apparent that Liu Min was merely a puppet, and the true culprit is someone with remote control abilities, as Qiao Ling falls under remote control and stabs Lu Guang the night of Liu Min's arrest.
As instructed by Xiao Li, Chen Bin picks up the mistakenly arrested Cheng Xiaoshi from the police station to meet Lu Guang at the hospital. On their way, Chen Bin receives a call from his wife, asking when he will be home and telling him that Qian Jin is waiting for him. Surprised to hear about Qian Jin, Chen Bin informs his wife that he may not return today due to the ongoing case, and that he will call Qian Jin back. Before ending the conversation, Chen Bin's wife urges him to grab a nap whenever possible, a suggestion he happily agrees to. However, he is yet unaware that the purpose of Qian Jin's visit is something much more sinister.
Arriving at the hospital, Chen Bin directs Cheng Xiaoshi to change his clothes before visiting Lu Guang. Taking the new attire from the bag, Cheng Xiaoshi discovers a plush toy tucked underneath and queries about its presence. Chen Bin explains that he had seen it when buying clothes for Cheng Xiaoshi, and couldn't resist its cuteness. Surprised, Cheng Xiaoshi remarks that he didn't expect Chen Bin to be a doll collector, prompting an embarrassed Chen Bin to clarify that it is all in preparation for his soon-to-arrive daughter.
Qian Jin, currently working as a private lawyer for Liu Min's family, was requested by Liu Min's father, Liu Jing, to retrieve Liu Min's phone which had fallen into the hands of the police after the arrest. Qian Jin plans to execute the retrieval using two special tools available to him — a pair of twin siblings, Li Tianchen and Li Tianxi, whom he took in following a domestic abuse incident that killed both of their parents. The two siblings possess special abilities, that when combined, enables them to remotely control any person via a photo of them.
As a result, Chen Bin, who Liu Min's phone is under custody of at the time, becomes Qian Jin's target. Under the guise of a casual visit, he steals a photo of Chen Bin from his home. Handing the photo to Li Tianchen, they intend to remotely control Chen Bin to hand the phone to Ma, who will infiltrate the hospital, and murder Chen Bin afterwards to avoid further complications.
Executing their plan, Li Tianchen possesses Chen Bin as he enters Lu Guang's ward with Cheng Xiaoshi. He swaps Liu Min's phone with Chen Bin's and sneaks away. On the rooftop, he rendezvouses with Ma. After handing over Liu Min's phone, Li Tianchen approaches the edge of the roof, intending to make Chen Bin fall off the building. However, tears suddenly begin to roll down the eyes of the possessed Chen Bin. Li Tianchen finds himself losing control, as Chen Bin utters words of apology to his soon-to-be-born daughter, regretting not being there to accompany her in her life. As Li Tianchen's remote control is only possible by combining his sister's ability with his own, Chen Bin's emotions overwhelm Li Tianxi, who breaks free from her brother's control and runs away, cutting off the remote control.
Just as Chen Bin regains consciousness however, Ma notices the remote control failing, and pushes Chen Bin off the building. He lands on top of a car, right behind Xiao Li who has been searching for him after noticing his disappearance.
Xiao Li, Cheng Xiaoshi, and Qiao Ling later attend Chen Bin's funeral, with Cheng Xiaoshi bringing a flower on behalf of Lu Guang who cannot attend due to injuries. After paying their respects, they notice absence of his wife, but she soon arrives in a flowing white dress, holding dandelions. Halting before Chen Bin's photograph, she releases a torrent of pent-up emotions, accusing him of being a liar and an irresponsible bastard. With tears streaming down her face, she laments Chen Bin's unfulfilled promises and the absence of quality time spent together as a couple. She then asks if Chen Bin could promise her one more thing, which is to give her back what she is owed in their next lives. In a heartfelt plea, she implores Chen Bin to make good on at least one more promise — to return what is owed to her in their next lives.
Later, Cheng Xiaoshi, sympathizing with Chen Bin and his wife, asks Lu Guang for permission to help them. They activate their powers, diving into the past through a photo of the day Chen Bin and his wife received their marriage certificate. As Chen Bin, Cheng Xiaoshi hands her a dandelion flower fashioned into a ring and proposes: Apologizing for inability to stay by her side, he thanks her for forgiving his frequent absences. He pledges love and protection not only for the rest of this life, but also across the span of their future lives to come, and asks if she is willing to marry him in all subsequent existences. She smiles, remarking that she can't refuse now that they have their certificate, and teases that his chances of marrying her in the next life will depend on his performance then.
