The Anti-Japanese War broke out and Suzhou fell. The person in charge of the "Oriental Culture Research Society", a Japanese cultural plunder organization, coveted this secret treasure and coerced and induced the two families to hand it over. The younger generations of the Fang and Huang families (Fang Yuanzhou and Huang Zhiwei) face the ultimate test of life and death, morality and emotion in the process of guarding secrets. Their choices are completely different: some pretend to surrender to the enemy, some fight to the death, and some try to transfer the treasure... The process is full of espionage-style battles of wits, sacrifice, and betrayal.
