In Shanghai in 1932, the neon lights of the French Concession reflected the fallen sycamore leaves on Xiafei Road, but they could not illuminate the hearts of people in troubled times.
She is Shen Qingyuan, a doctor who returned from studying abroad. Hidden under her white coat is the secret of overturning her father's case. The scalpel can cut open the lesion, but she is still tied to his fate.
He was Lu Zhiyan, the powerful president of the Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai. He wore a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses, and his seemingly gentle eyes hid the cold light of arms dealing. However, when he saw her for the first time, his heartbeat rate was disrupted.
An unexpected medical treatment caused two people who were supposed to be parallel to suddenly intersect. She broke into his world in order to find out the truth, and he got close to her life in order to control the overall situation. However, through repeated trials and confrontations, he glimpsed the softness behind each other's disguises - she had the kindness of a doctor, and he had the warm blood that has not yet cooled.
When the war spread to the Huangpu River, the righteousness of family and country collided violently with the love between children. He put down the gun for her, and she picked up the knife for him.
"Qingyuan," he held her in his arms amidst the hail of bullets, his voice hoarse with gunpowder smoke, "These troubled times are like mud, and I want to protect you as a Shanghai flower that is not stained by dust."
And she looked at his blood-stained cuffs and responded softly: "Lu Zhiyan, the moon shines on the old road. I believe the light in your eyes is as bright as the moon in the sky."
