The Republic of China was a turbulent and turbulent era. In this chaotic land, a bad fate quietly unfolded.
Lin Wanqing came from a well-known local family. Although she was caught in the whirlpool of intrigues between the family's aunts, she was gentle, intelligent, and talented. By chance, she met Su Muchen, who came from a scholarly family and had the ideal of saving the country. The two seemed to be destined to fall in love and quickly fell in love, thinking they had found a warm harbor in troubled times.
However, this beauty is as fragile as a bubble. Wanqing's best friend Liu Ruyan, because she couldn't help but admire Su Muchen, became jealous and colluded with the vicious and greedy Wang Oujun. Wang Dujun coveted Wanqing's beauty and forced her to propose marriage. The Lin family was unable to resist, and Wanqing was forced to marry into the warlord's house. Unwilling to be manipulated by her fate, she tried her best to escape, but was robbed by bandits and sold into a brothel, where she suffered humiliation and torture.
At the same time, the Lin family was in decline due to internal disputes and external pressure. Su Muchen ran around looking for Wanqing and finally rescued her, but fell into many traps set by Liu Ruyan and Wang Governor. Liu Ruyan used any means to sow discord, which caused Su Muchen to misunderstand Wanqing, and their relationship was crumbling amidst repeated hardships and misunderstandings.
Su Muchen was also wanted by the warlord for participating in revolutionary activities. He was seriously injured during a pursuit and eventually died in Wanqing's arms. Wanqing, who lost her beloved, no longer had any nostalgia for this troubled world. She decided to die in the place where she once spent a good time with Su Muchen, bringing a sad ending to the bad fate in this troubled world.
