[Republican-Era Tragedy + Spies] [Original title: The Years of Youth, Hearts Lost in the Grass] [Also known as: Boss Shen, Stop Tormenting Her. Miss Mu Doesn’t Love You] The years of youth scatter like grass, while the scorching sun burns like blood, never to be extinguished. In that turbulent yet simple era, every heart had to burn fiercely just to survive. And it wasn’t only them... there were others, too... Their love was never destined to be simple.
Mu Zuoxin was born in the Republican era into a well-off family of scholars, but a sudden upheaval plunged her into poverty. Her unyielding, stubborn spirit meant she was never destined to remain down and out. A drifting leaf in a chaotic world, Mu Zuoxin was a woman gifted in embroidery. To support her younger brother and family, she became the personal fashion designer to Rose, a singer, and finally had a chance to put her design talent to use. Yet the character “Xin” engraved on a pocket watch pierced her heart like a thorn. She was nothing more than a substitute, the shadow of a woman who looked just like the one he loved.
At the same time, the young and handsome officer Lu Ming entered her life. His tender affection intoxicated her, yet also pushed her toward a dangerous abyss. The clash between Lu Haoming’s identity and that of Mu Zuoxin’s family, along with the struggles of love and country, left her agonizing over a choice between love, her dearest family, and her beliefs. A pocket watch engraved with a name brought buried history to light. A lifetime spent loving the wrong person, yet no regrets. Was the one she hated truly deserving of hate? At the end of hatred lay concern; at the end of love, a pain she could never let go of... No one knows whose fault it was that they ultimately missed their chance... The scene outside the window could no longer be matched to her memories... The leaves had turned yellow... once, they had been green...
