She has gone from a bloody childhood where she witnessed her adoptive father torture and kill a white cat, and the fear of seven years old has always been with her. She was sold into Changlefang at the age of sixteen. She thought she would perish in the world, but she met Shen Yanqing. That unexpected appointment with "Shu Yu Ci" became the introduction to her first love affair. The three-year redemption agreement, full of expectations, only to be betrayed, the chase at the pier, and the rolling down of the stone steps, leaving not only blood marks on the forehead, but also a broken heart.
Newspaper reporter Cheng Shubai used his camera to capture her appearance as a new woman, and Lu Zhiyuan, a doctor studying abroad, taught her how to read and see the world with prescriptions. Their appearance was a glimmer of light in the darkness. But fate is never merciful. Cheng Shu was shot dead in Bai An Alley, and Lu Zhi left for a foreign country, leaving only his pocket watch and memories.
Ten years passed, and Sanshui became the new head of Changlefang. On this seemingly peaceful rainy day, secrets are revealed one after another: the gilt nail covers hide the past of Shen Yanqing's sister being abducted, the appearance of the runaway girl awakens the pain of her aborted daughter, the prescription for fetal protection in the medicine box is intertwined with unsent love letters, the suspended pocket watch hides the contact list of the underground party...
Sanshui stands at the crossroads of destiny. The love and hate, sorrow and joy of the past will all lead her to unknown redemption and rebirth in the troubled times of the Republic of China.
