It depicts a deep and tragic love song about family and country during the troubled times of the Republic of China. Shen Jingshu, a gentle and resolute young lady from an aristocratic family, and Cheng Jingxuan, an idealistic young man studying abroad, met because of a marriage contract. From the initial misunderstanding and alienation to the secret love in teaching and learning, they should have become a couple of gods. However, the torrent of the times involves them together in the dark side of history. The two hold the same beliefs, but choose to remain silent to protect each other, and walk side by side on the secret front. When love intertwined with the fate of their home and country, they said goodbye twice at the same place - once he died to protect her, and once she took the initiative to sacrifice herself to complete her mission. This is not only a love story about dislocation and protection, but also a heroic tragic song praising countless martyrs who sacrificed their lives without regrets for their faith in that turbulent era.
