In 1932, Shanghai was in a turbulent time, and everything was in ruins.
The lights on the Bund illuminated the roar of the Huangpu River, and murderous intent lurked beneath the bustle.
Here, it is not only the Paris of the East, but also the arena of great powers.
Smoke and neon dance together, desire and conspiracy intertwined. Businessmen gathered, and the grievances of wealthy families, the hatred of country and family, surged like a tidal wave.
In this turbulent situation, the Gu family's mansion stands in the center of the French Concession, looking particularly solemn and heavy. The glory of the past is like a candle in the wind, swaying in the darkness.
Gu Ruyan, the only young lady of the Gu family, stood quietly in front of the window, staring at the land she loved so much. Her life was destined to write a magnificent tragedy in this turbulent era.
Her father Gu Chengde, a former business tycoon, is now behind bars, and the family's glory is gradually dimming.
Faced with the turmoil of his family and country and the separation of his relatives, Gu Ruyan resolutely took up the important task of reviving the family. The flame of revenge burns in her heart, and her wisdom and courage are like sharp swords, vowing to open up a new world in this troubled world.
The legend of Gu Ruyan is about to begin on this stormy Shanghai beach.
