The Lady of Beacon Fire & Iron-Blooded Tenderness (Republic of China warlord/deep sadomasochistic love/rise and fall of aristocratic family/female transformation/gratitudes between family and country)
When the warlords of the Republic of China were fighting, Su Nianyun, a talented and beautiful girl from the Su family, fell from the clouds to the bottom because her father was framed and imprisoned, and her family property was confiscated. In order to save her father, she turned to the iron-blooded warlord Shen Zechuan and was forced to agree to become his concubine.
After entering the Shen Mansion, Su Nianyun encountered difficulties from his wife many times, but during the relationship, she discovered that Shen Zechuan was not completely cold - he would seek medical advice for her, make medicines for her, play chess and recite poems with her, and their affection quietly grew. But her father was eventually persecuted and died tragically. Su Nianyun resented Shen Zechuan, and later left the Shen Mansion to join a progressive organization, transforming into a strong and independent revolutionary woman.
In the midst of the war, the two met again. Shen Zechuan was seriously injured in a critical battle, and Su Nianyun went to take care of him, finally letting go of his resentment. Shen Zechuan expressed his feelings, and Su Nianyun also recognized the deep feelings in his heart. The two embraced each other in the troubled times and were determined to fight the wind and rain together and spend the rest of their lives together.
