A cold night rain washed Yu Xinran, a modern female college student, into the turbulent undercurrent of Peiping in 1925. With nothing to gain, only the history of the future in her mind became her only weapon and shackles. On the verge of life and death, she crashes into the car of Cheng Baichuan, an upstart businessman who has returned from studying in England. With the disguise of "amnesia", she was temporarily protected by Cheng Mansion, but she didn't know that she had become an alien star that stirred up the deep house and troubled times.
Cheng Baichuan's calmness and restraint hide his sharpness of insight and increasingly deeper emotions. What he provides is not only a place to live, but also a rock-solid promise to "face the storms of troubled times together". Xu Siliang, the handsome young marshal with military power in his hands, burst into her world like a blazing wildfire, carrying the smell of gunpowder smoke. The gunfire at the shooting range, the smoke in the rain, the unexpected predatory kiss under the thunder... He made her heart beat out of order, and also brought about an irresistible fatal attraction.
The wheels of history rumble. The serious warning of life and death from the mysterious Japanese aristocrat Asano Takataka is like a sharp sword hanging from the ceiling. Cheng Baichuan's strategizing and Xu Siliang's thunderous methods are intertwined in the invisible smoke of commercial war and military war. Yu Xinran holds the future in her hands, but she is trapped in the whirlpool of emotions and the pressure of her family and country. She is the butterfly that Cheng Baichuan wants to protect with diamonds, and she is also the jasmine fragrance that Xu Siliang wants to capture in the smoke of gunfire.
When the iron curtain-like troubled times are approaching, can the butterfly flutter its wings and pass through? The way home is unclear. Where will her love go in this war-torn era? A love and redemption that spans time and space are thrillingly staged in the stormy Beiping.
