In Shanghai during the Republic of China, neon lights along the Huangpu River were shrouded in gunpowder smoke. Lu Mingwei, a doctor of psychology who returned from studying abroad, vowed to break superstition with her scientific ideals, and was the first to target Jiang Yuebai, the "half-immortal" of Xiafei Road.
She pressed on to expose the "divination technique" step by step, only to discover that his hexagrams contained intelligence codes, and that the fortune-telling stall was actually a cover for underground work. Science and "metaphysics" collide, rationality and faith compete. During the trial, Lu Mingwei was not only involved in the whirlpool of life and death, but also fell in love with this mysterious "half-immortal".
In the glitz and glamor of troubled times, what is difficult to distinguish between true and false is identity, but what becomes increasingly clear is sincerity. The two broke through the barriers and joined hands to protect their faith with wisdom and courage in the storm in Shanghai. They also maintained a deep love that transcended their positions.
