Ten miles away from home, there is hidden smoke. This is a silent elegy that echoes on the isolated island of Shanghai, and it is also an eternal memory engraved between faith and love.
Life is like a dream, they are forced to forget each other in the world
Three years ago, he was her guide on the road to revolution and her deep-seated love, Gu Junyan, but he "died heroically" in an explosion.
Three years later, she is Su Manling, the second wife of wealthy Shanghai businessman Li Mingyu. She is an elegant and frail bird in a cage who strives to forget the past.
And he is Zhou Mubai, the new police chief of the Wang puppet government. He is a cold, shrewd and ruthless "traitor".
Taking photos together, they chose to illuminate each other in the darkness
"Why bother, if you can't forget it, don't forget it."
True forgetting never requires effort.
Those things that need to be gritted and abandoned are the ones most worth protecting with life.
They bury their deepest emotions deep in their hearts and integrate their strongest beliefs into their blood. In the darkest hour before dawn, they are each other's blades and shields.
This is the double life of a couple in troubled times, and it is also an epic about remembrance and loyalty.
When the glitz and glamor dissipated, and when dawn finally came, they used their silent companionship to write a love letter that was more touching than staying together.
Because some love is destined to need no words; some faith will eventually illuminate the mountains and rivers.
