Blood and Iron in Silken Robes

Shanghai, 1930. Ruan Jingshu, daughter of a textile tycoon, is forced into a marriage with banker’s son Cheng Yuanzhi to save her family from ruin. Behind the lavish wedding lies a web of schemes: her husband is having an affair with a singer, the Cheng family is colluding with the Japanese to swallow up national industries, and her childhood sweetheart, Song Shuming, suddenly returns with revolutionary ideals. When Ruan’s father dies and a dispute over his will ignites a family war, Jingshu awakens amid war and betrayal. She turns the bloodstained textile mill into a production line for anti-Japanese supplies, joining Song Shuming to protect the last spark of the nation’s industry.
