A past life burned in fire, a sober and painful rebirth.
Lin Wei, a talented but paranoid painter, died in a fire he lit. Also going to death with her was her husband Lu Huaian, a rising star in the military region.
In her previous life, she thought marriage was a haven for each other, but she didn't know that his silence under the sun was burdened by the kindness of his comrades, the glory of his family, and the political noose of his father. When she was engineered to have a miscarriage, his choice of silence became the last straw for her.
When she opened her eyes again, she returned to 1977, before everything had begun. In this life, she is as calm as ice: love is too luxurious, and what she wants is an independent kingdom that no one can shake.
She avoided all the crossroads of fate, but he was still deeply attracted by her talent and uninhibitedness. Without any memory, he approached her as in his previous life.
"Comrade Lin Wei, your paintings make me feel like my soul has been seen."
But she knew that attraction was not enough. What stands between them are the rules of the entire era and the thick barriers between the two families.
So, she issued the ultimate torture to him:
"Lu Huaian, my world is as pure as a canvas. Your kindness, your responsibility, your family, all these 'impurities', how do you wash them away before you are worthy of entering my life?"
This time, she is no longer a passive victim, but a planner.
What he has to do is to tear apart the disciplines of the times, resist the shackles of patriarchy, and use a complete betrayal - betrayal of everything he carries - to complete the ultimate redemption for her and himself.
