In the war-torn times, two mismatched destinies are intertwined into a web. Su Jin, the daughter of a Nancheng merchant, was forced to marry into the Shen family of the Northland warlord to save her family, and became the wife of the stern marshal Shen Yanzhi. Xu Wei, a Shanghai singer who was embroiled in a feud with a wealthy family because of a marriage contract, turned out to be Shen Yanzhi's long-lost childhood sweetheart. In the flames of war and conspiracy, two women struggle between identity and emotion - Su Jin transforms from a gentle lady into an invisible chess player in shopping malls and intelligence wars, while Xu Wei is wandering between revenge and old love. Shen Yanzhi shoulders the heavy responsibility of his family and country, but finds that he has long been trapped in a web woven of love and hate. The singing and dancing in the ten-mile foreign market has not stopped, the war in the north has been ignited, and the fate of the three people collided in the chess game of Jiangshan. When the dusty past is revealed, the old friendship is as fragile as paper in the face of machinations. This is not only the love-hate entanglement of three people, but also an epic about protection, betrayal and choice of a generation in the tide of the times.
