In 1940, Chengdu, a seemingly peaceful city, was secretly troubled by various forces. Wang Biao, a ruthless figure in the Pao Brother Society, was secretly killed, which made Chengdu, which was already uneventful, even more chaotic. Everyone in the "Sichuan Gang" became a target of suspicion.
On the other side, the theater on Chunxi Road was very lively. Li Yan is the most popular actress in the theater. She won third place in the "Tianfu Famous Actress" competition and is known as "Sister Li San". She wandered among the wealthy people in Chengdu with her secret life experience, just to find the enemy who destroyed her family ten years ago. At this time, Zhang Qiming, the boss of the East Sichuan Chamber of Commerce, appeared, and her life changed again.
After several hardships, the two finally came together. At this time, Li Yan, who only had Zhang Qiming in her heart, could only say sorry to Zhao Zhiyuan, the young master of the Zhao family who pursued her. The emotional entanglement between the three people is quite complicated. At the same time, Zhang Qiming's identity as a member of the "Sichuan Gang" is gradually becoming known. Various forces began to take advantage of their relationship to cause harm, including the "Pao Brother Society". In order to quickly get rid of Zhang Qiming, they even dug up old stories about Li Yan's dead parents and the Zhang family, and wanted to kill people with a borrowed knife.
On the surface, Chengdu seems to be quiet, but in fact there are many undercurrents. The appearance of the two people when they first met is still in front of you, but they are forced to a dead end step by step. Maybe that era trapped him and her in their not-so-long life.
