Embers of floating life: the shattered shadow of a century of bitter fate
Taking the turmoil of the current situation for a century as the warp and the fateful entanglement of three generations as the weft, a long and bloody song unfolds. In the smoke and rain of the Republic of China, businesswoman Shen Qingyi fell in love with the famous son Gu Yanchen, but was crushed by her family and power. She jumped into a river and survived with amnesia, leaving her child unborn as an echo of their unfulfilled love; Gu Yanchen stepped onto the sea of fire, his appearance was destroyed by gunfire, and forged love letters added to the thorns of reunion.
During the stormy years, the younger generations Gu Nianan and Su Wanqing were trapped by the shackles of the times and old family grudges. They fell in love but were forced to separate. The truth finally emerged on the edge of life and death. In the new century, Zhao Xiaotang and Gu Zeyu resume their relationship after carrying three generations of grudges. Congenital heart disease, overseas obstruction, and the mystery of amnesia make love and redemption step by step.
From alleys in the south of the Yangtze River to field hospitals, from farm renovation to overseas medical treatment, four generations have struggled in the torrent of history. The broken needle of the mandarin duck handkerchief and the remaining warmth of the fetal hair talisman connect a century-old love and hate, and are shackles of family status, war, conspiracy, and genetic disease. They persist in the loss and get closer in the misunderstanding. They ask whether this bitter fate that has spanned a hundred years can wait for the redemption that has settled down.
