The Book of Deep Love in Neon Troubled Times

In Shanghai in 1941, under the neon lights of Paramount, the undercurrent of the times and personal choices were hidden. Lu Yiping is no longer the sharp and rebellious eldest daughter of the Lu family, but the popular Paramount singer "White Rose", who uses her singing to make a living in troubled times and build up her own defenses. Qin Wuye is still a tycoon in Shanghai's entertainment industry. He looks cold and majestic, but secretly supports the anti-Japanese underground network. When He Shuhuan returned to Shanghai with guilt and tried to save her, and when the Lu family completely declined due to the war, Yiping chose the latter between the entanglements of her original family and the national justice. From the Paramount stage to the underground intelligence station, from the isolated island in Shanghai to the rear of Chongqing, from the trial marriage turmoil to the end of the war, the relationship between Yiping and Qin Wuye progressed step by step in the war. They are not only partners who keep each other warm in troubled times, but also comrades who fight side by side. This relationship, which spans a 24-year age gap and breaks class barriers, was tempered by the iron hooves of the Japanese army, family opposition, career crises and historical choices. This is a million-word long epic of female growth, continuing the lineage of characters in "Love in the Rain", but reinterpreting love, independence and feelings of family and country in a grander historical picture. When the neon lights go out and the smoke clears, what remains in the depths of the years are two souls that illuminate each other and grow together in troubled times, and a woman's complete arc from seeking personal independence to assuming social responsibility. In a world full of love and mist, they took another path - a more difficult path, but closer to truth and freedom.
