The Republic of China was a stormy one, and under the neon lights of Shili Foreign Market, there was a surging undercurrent.
Lin Shuyue, editor-in-chief of "New Voice", uses her pen as a blade to pierce the fog of troubled times. She is a warrior who emerged from the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. She writes about the suffering of the people and the cry of her family and country, and her eyes show an independent and unyielding edge. In the battlefield of public opinion, she met Shen Yanzhou, the manager of HSBC Bank, Leng Junhua, an upstart in the financial world.
He was as calm as a deep pool, with waves more unpredictable than those of the Huangpu River hidden in his eyes. No one knew that this gentleman in a suit had secret orders from the intelligence organization hidden under his sleeves. He had not only checks but also life-and-death passwords on his fingertips.
Their first encounter was a trial and confrontation, his "darkness" was the armor that protected her, and her "edge" was the glimmer of light that illuminated his dark night. The war started, and misunderstandings followed: the clues she traced pointed to his disguise, and his secret mission forced him to create alienation. But in the troubled times, the hands that shielded her from the hidden gun, and the editorial that supported him, concealed a confession that was more fiery than words.
He guarded with silence and locked his love into the word "boat" on his pocket watch; she took an oath with her pen and woven her care into the "moon" pattern on her handkerchief. From the turmoil in Songhu to the shattering of mountains and rivers, they are comrades who stand side by side but remain silent, and are the unspoken "treasure". When he spilled his blood for the intelligence of his family and country, and when she took over his faith in the rear, the blood-stained copper whistle and the yellowed editorial finally became the brightest light in the ashes of the beacon fire.
This is a story about "unsaid" - unsaid protection, unsaid sacrifice, and unsaid love. The torrent in the Republic of China
