About This Novel
The story of the undercurrent of the Shen family, a famous silk family in Jiangnan during the Republic of China. Lin Shutong, a female military doctor who returned from studying abroad, sneaks into the Shen family as a "distant cousin" to investigate the theft of secret recipes from the drug store and the shady story of military supplies. Shen Hesheng, the eldest son of the Shen family who appears to be a playboy, is actually holding the helm, protecting the family and investigating his mother's old case. The two went from being suspicious of each other to working together to fight against the third concubine Zhou's conspiracy to collude with Japanese businessmen. They served as each other's armor in the midst of family feuds and national peril. As the truth emerged, crises such as the mutiny of the munitions representative and Shen Hesheng's serious injury and blindness ensued. In the end, the twin butterflies vowed to risk their lives to protect their country. They reunited three years later and went on the revolutionary journey, composing a legend of the Republic of China intertwined with passion and affection.
