As an illegitimate daughter of the Meng family, Meng Lan was forced to marry the young marshal of the Chen family. On the surface, it was a marriage between a wealthy family, but in fact, it concealed a political conspiracy. On the night of the wedding, the groom Chen Dong did not show up, indicating that this marriage was unusual.
Meng Lan is walking on thin ice in the Chen family. She has to conceal her identity as a reporter and deal with the temptations of everyone in the Chen family. She secretly investigated and found revolutionary leaflets in Chen Dong's study, and realized that the young marshal might have another identity.
Chen Dong suddenly returned and was keenly aware of signs that the room had been disturbed. The first meeting between the two was a psychological game, with Meng Lan's calmness in sharp contrast to Chen Dong's sharp scrutiny.
When Chen Dong discovered that Meng Lan had seen through his secret, the two went from hostility to tentative cooperation. They jointly faced the threats of warlords and Japanese forces, and gradually developed a subtle relationship amidst the danger.
Chen Dong was seriously injured in an assassination attempt, and Meng Lan took the risk to rescue him. In the process of taking care of him, the two opened up and shared their ideals and pains, and their emotions quickly heated up.
Facing the warlord's siege, Chen Dong decided to let Meng Lan leave to save his life, but Meng Lan chose to stay and fight alongside him, completing the transformation from a substitute bride to a revolutionary partner in a hail of bullets.
