In 1925, Jiangnan, China, on the eve of the Northern Expedition. The warlords are separatist and the people are in dire straits. Qinghe Town, an ancient water town, is occupied by the forces of the "Iron Blood Army" Marshal Lu Chenzhou. This is not the romance in the history books, but a Shura field of blood and fire - the bluestone road is soaked in last night's rain, the smell of rust is in the air, and there are wet blood stains hidden in the bottom of the awning boat. Lu Chenzhou rules the three provinces with an iron fist and is known as the "Living King of Hell"; Su Wanqing is an orphan girl from the last academy in the town. After her father was shot by Lu Chenzhou, she became his revenge sacrifice. This is not a romance between a talented man and a beautiful woman, but a life and death situation where the tip of a knife licks blood: he wants to take her life by force, and she wants to steal his heart.
This story is not about "the domineering president fell in love with me", but about the bite and embrace of two trapped beasts in troubled times. When Lu Chenzhou said, "I will take your life by force," Su Wanqing's response should have been to put the gun to his heart: "Then let's try it - whoever dies first will die in whose hands." The blood hairpin at the beginning will turn into a wedding hairpin at the end. Let the rain in Qinghe Town soak through the soul of every reader.
