The beauty of the south of the Yangtze River in the past has turned into a storm.
Lin Jingshu, the apple of a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River, is extremely talented and talented. She thought that her life would be to be on par with Gu Shijun, the son of a warlord, and live a stable life. However, a well-planned conspiracy caused her family building to collapse in an instant, her father was unjustly imprisoned, and the grand engagement banquet turned out to be a shura scene where the Gu family broke up with her in public and ruthlessly regretted their marriage.
After falling from the clouds into the mud, she realized that gentleness and obedience could not buy a way out.
The cold eyes of her former lover became a sharp blade piercing her old world. Determined to cut off her three thousand black silk hair, she took off her skirt and embarked on the train to Peking with her only faith. In that turbulent era, she met the light that led her thoughts, and also witnessed the cruelty of war.
Family hatred and national hatred are intertwined, and weakness and tenacity confront each other.
From being weak in a boudoir to being a duckweed in troubled times, from seeking self-rescue to protecting others, Lin Jingshu was tempered and reborn in the furnace of the times. She will prove with her actions that true character is not born from beauty, but grows from thorns. A woman's awakening is enough to embark on her own amazing journey among the broken mountains and rivers.
