In the late autumn of the 26th year of the Republic of China, the thick fog from the Tuojiang River spread across the bluestone road and enveloped the Shen Family Courtyard in haze. Shen Yanzhi, who returned from studying abroad, pushed open the mottled red door. What awaited her was not only her father on the sickbed, but also an unexpected engagement - to marry Gu Shiyan, whom she had not seen for three years, to repay the huge debt owed by the Shen family.
Three years ago, she left for Paris in frustration, leaving her drawings and unspoken feelings in the studio; he left for England, promised to return, but there was no news. The waiting at the dock, the unsent letters, and the dusty drawings became a fog barrier between the two.
When she discovers his address in London hidden in an old picture folder, and when he confesses about the wait at the dock and his inexplicable coma, a past event covered by thick fog gradually becomes clear: her father's "serious illness", the disappearance of the accountant, and the coveting of the mysterious businessman Lin Maocai are all related to the missing batch of Yun brocade three years ago. And hidden in that batch of silk and satin is a secret that can subvert both families.
The fog locks the Tuojiang River and also locks people's hearts. She uses her paintbrush as a blade, and he uses his courage as a shield, peeling away layers of fog amid family grudges and the undercurrent of troubled times. When the truth breaks through the thick fog like the light of dawn, can those feelings buried by time fall into each other's hands with the returning geese?
This is a story about waiting and redemption. In the storm of the Republic of China, see how a pair of lovers clear the fog and let the stranded love set sail again.
