In Shanghai during the Republic of China, the red walls of Shen Mansion contained the strongest fire and the coldest snow.
Shen Qingyuan, the first daughter-in-law, is the heir raised by the Shen family in a hail of bullets. She is as cold as iron, but she shows undue compassion for her "weak and cowardly" half-sister Shen Qingyi.
Shen Qingyi clings to the shackles of "outsiders", uses tears as bait, wounds as chess, and pretends to be a docile lamb at every step - broken osmanthus dew, blocked bullets, late-night toffee, every "accident" is carefully calculated, just to fish away the heart wrapped in ice.
