On Chinese Valentine's Day in the 13th year of the Republic of China, the Mu brothers retrieved an abandoned baby from the river, named her Rong Xu, and included it in their family tree - becoming the eldest daughter of the Mu family.
Sixteen years later, Murong was admitted to the National Sanlian University. Mu Qing is the dean of the literature department. He passes by her window every day but doesn't look sideways.
But she knew that he had written an unsigned poem late at night and burned it again.
She was engaged, and he was urging her to get married. She slipped a note into his manuscript: "Uncle, who are you waiting for?"
He didn't answer.
There is war outside and the family rules are like knives inside. She tore up her marriage contract, joined the underground party, and sent messages in the dark, using the code name Pei Rong - but she didn't know that her boss, Qing Weiguo, was actually Mu Qing under the mask.
It turned out that they had been wading in the same river. But no one dared to reach out first.
