In Central, Hong Kong, amid the incense smoke of Man Mo Temple, two people who were supposed to be parallel suddenly met.
He is Huo Huaizhi, a former undercover agent and current financial tycoon wearing Buddhist beads. He walks on the edge of capital and danger and is rumored to be "allergic to women." She is Bai Yimei, a Hong Kong-style beauty who comes from a wealthy family but is obsessed with writing. She hides a modern soul under her embroidered skirt and measures the memory of the city with her pen. A three-second look at each other stirred up ripples of fate.
When Bai Yimei opened Zhou Yingxia's diary in a used bookstore in Macau, a yellowed photo revealed family secrets that had been sealed for seventy years. The "Qinglong Club" that the diary points to, the Huo family's secretive past, the anonymous letters that appeared one after another in Nanyang... There are undercurrents running under the calm surface. From Hong Kong's teahouses, to Penang's arcade murals, to Singapore's cemetery secrets, a pursuit across Southeast Asia begins.
Huo Huaizhi stepped in with an absolute protective attitude, domineering but gently dispelling the wind and rain in her world. Bai Yimei relaxes in the pampering, and faces the darkness side by side with him with the tenacity of a scholar. When love encounters the curse of blood, and when the land of gentleness collides with Shura Field, they must write the final chapter of the grudges between the two families amidst the ashes of history and the conspiracy of reality, and earn a bright future for each other.
This is a collision of classics and modernity, a blend of financial forest and literary garden, and a Hong Kong-style legend about protection, redemption, and how to love each other bravely in a complex world.
