Old Dreams in Shanghai, Miss Shen's War Letter

In Shanghai in 1925, in front of the portrait stall of Xiafei Road, Jiangnan beauty Shen Qingci broke into the secret deal of Marshal Lu Chengyuan. The coincidence of an ancestral jade pendant brought up an old grudge between the two families for fifteen years - her mother's death in childbirth was actually related to his father. She is a scholarly girl from a declining family, who opens a study to hide her talents and protects a pure land in the flames of war; he is a warlord who has returned from studying abroad. He seems to be a playboy, but in fact he secretly formed an anti-Japanese force and atones for his sins with blood. From the tit-for-tat confrontation at Paramount to the study of ancient books in the study room, misunderstandings and feelings grow wildly in troubled times. When the old family grudges collided with the righteousness of the family and the country, she blocked a stray bullet for him, and he stepped through the sword for her, but they were eventually forced to separate before the iron heel of the Japanese army. He said, "If I die in battle, I will use my jade pendant to repay the Shen family's debt." She hid the defense plan and guarded a blood-stained love letter among the refugees. Gu Yanchen's white moonlight protection, Gu Manli's bloody intelligence, Lu's father's pro-Japanese mystery... The flames of war licked the green bricks of the concession, and the edge under the cheongsam finally appeared. From the isolated island to the bloody reconciliation, when the smoke cleared, he read the newspaper on the wicker chair in the study, and she copied the portrait when they first met. Deep in the old dream, the ring with each other's names engraved on it has been hidden in the wine jar for half a lifetime, just like the oath they made across the flames of war: "If there is an afterlife, I will still be your fellow traveler."
