"Undercurrent: Lingering in Troubled Times"
The Republic of China was in turmoil, with smoke rising everywhere. Gu Zhenxuan, a cold and hard-line warlord with a large number of soldiers, and Shen Qingyuan, a progressive young man with ideals, should have been enemies of power and ideals, but they fell into an inescapable and forbidden love in repeated confrontations.
Gu Zhenxuan, a powerful man, had an almost paranoid interest in that thin and stubborn scholar because of a sharp article. He approached forcefully, pressing forward step by step, using power as a prison to imprison Shen Qingyuan in the palm of his hand. Shen Qingyuan, on the other hand, would rather break than bend, but in the midst of confrontation and struggle, he found that he had an undue fear of this "iceberg".
On their wedding night, before the red candle was extinguished, Shen Qingyuan jumped from the terrace. Gu Zhenxuan abandoned his bride and rushed into a pool of blood like a madman - at that moment, everyone saw clearly: this man's weakness has always been only one person.
House arrest, escape, kidnapping, rescue... Caught between jealousy, conspiracy and war, the two fell in love and killed each other, torturing each other and redeeming each other. They are each other's light and each other's calamity.
And when the Japanese army breaks through Peiping and the family and country are in danger, how will this undercurrent of love that started from selfish desires find its home in the torrent of the great era?
A soul-stirring sadomasochism in troubled times, the ultimate pull between two souls between power, ideals and love.
——"Undercurrent", love is the abyss and the only light.
