During the Republic of China, Shen Yanci and Su Wanqing fell in love in troubled times. Due to a warlord melee, Su's father was killed and Shen Yanci's hand was injured. The lieutenant framed the Su family as a collaborator and wanted to pass Wan Qing off as a military prostitute. To save Wan Qing, he left the customs. He threw the bamboo flute into the river and left by boat. After Wan Qing was placed under house arrest, he exchanged Xiuzhuang's property for freedom. Shen Yanci faced the cold wind and snow and an unknown fate after leaving the customs.
