In the autumn of 1928, Shen Jingyun, a freshman at Central University, accidentally dropped her poetry collection and was picked up by Du Zheng, a cold-blooded officer of the Seventh Military Region. He was her late brother's comrade-in-arms and was entrusted to take care of her. However, when he was flipping through the pages of poems she annotated, he was quietly touched by her talent and stubbornness.
He intervened forcefully in her life in the name of his brother, but got deeper and deeper into the whirlpool of politics and emotions - he was ordered to suppress "dangerous ideas", and she was the backbone of the literary club; he dragged her away from the police sticks during the chaos of the parade, but revealed his good deeds of secretly transferring arrested students; she denounced him as an accomplice of ideological imprisonment, but found the tenderness of his all-night care in front of the hospital bed.
From the ambiguous gazes in the campus drama "Romeo and Juliet" to the side-by-side teaching under the lights in the literacy class; from the family heirloom jade pendants given to each other in the teahouse on the eve of the war, to the secret wedding in the church during the war - she used her pen as a spear to expose the warlord's shady story, and he used his military exploits to support her in the troubled times.
When the ginkgo leaves fall again, the military uniform and the poem finally become a couple.
