In the year of Yisi, smoke and gunfire engulfed old Shanghai. Weixi lost her only sister, but took in the “legacy” her sister had bought with her life: her niece, Nianqing.
From then on, Nianqing was both her weakness and her armor. While her sister was alive, Weixi was a sheltered flower. After her sister was gone, she shed all softness and forged herself into a blade to protect Nianqing.
In these turbulent Republican-era times, people’s hearts were hard to read. Whoever dared touch her most vulnerable spot would pay in blood, and she would fight them to the death!
In this chaotic world, she asked for neither riches nor glory, and cared nothing for what the future held. All she wanted was to keep Nianqing safe throughout her life and watch her grow up.
See how she gives her niece a patch of clear sky in a world battered by storms!
