In 1939, after Shanghai falls to the Japanese, Shen Zhiwei discovers on her wedding night that her fiancé, Gu Mingyuan, is colluding with the Japanese to smuggle poison gas shells. She snaps her pearl necklace and flees the wedding, only to encounter Fu Chengyu, a “sickly medicine merchant.” Coughing, he shields her from view. Hidden in his silver medicine case is a secret message from Nightingale, an underground Communist operative. Beneath his frail exterior, he is an ace agent who can take down enemies with his bare hands.
The two join forces to pass along intelligence and blow up an arms depot. Shen Zhiwei transforms from a delicate young lady into an intelligence agent codenamed “White Butterfly,” while Fu Chengyu sheds his disguise and protects her with his life. Gu Mingyuan strikes back in a frenzy, resorting to kidnapping and ambushes, but nothing can stop the two from facing every crisis together.
From Morse code at the Paramount to a life-or-death showdown at Jiangwan Airport, they stay true to their commitment to one another. At last, on the day victory is declared in the War of Resistance, they marry hand in hand beneath a plane tree. After the undercurrents pass, the flowers finally bloom.
