The cold and ruthless warlord Xie Jin personally hauls Shen Zhiyu, the student who is always defying him, back to his residence. The whole city bets on how many days this girl, who doesn’t know her place, will last. Then artillery fire turns Jiangnan red. He disobeys military orders for her, and she shares life and death with him. When the red flag sweeps across the north, Commander Xie, once known for his old ways, changes sides of his own accord and becomes the general his enemies fear most. Asked why, he looks only at the woman beside him, whose smile shines like a flower. “The light she wanted, I gave her with my own hands.” (They bicker by day and share a bed by night: a romance and a struggle over country and home between two equally matched people!)
