In 1926, Shen Hanzhi, daughter of a Shanghai financial magnate, returns from overseas to hear that her family has gone bankrupt and her father has been brutally murdered. She trades her Western clothes for simpler attire and, alone in the world, plunges into the treacherous banking industry, navigating between warlords, politicians, and compradors. The new bank president, rumored to be cold-blooded, personally cooks her a bowl of plain noodles late at night. “This chaotic age is a crucible. I want you to rule the world of finance by my side, and spend the rest of your life with me.” In an era where gunfire and roses bloom side by side, she wields her pen like a gun and silver dollars like bullets, becoming the most dazzling flame-blossoming hibiscus on the banks of the Huangpu River.
A wealthy heiress returns from overseas only to become an orphan overnight.
She casts off her finery and ventures alone into Shanghai's turbulent financial world.
Warlords close in, the business world roils,
She wields her pen like a gun and silver dollars like blades.
A cold-faced bank president devotes himself to protecting her,
One bowl of plain noodles warms a lifetime of storms and snow.
In the crucible of a chaotic age, wealth is his proposal,
Watch a beauty of her generation
Bloom into the fiercest flame-blossoming hibiscus on the banks of the Huangpu River.
The writing is delicate and the emotions are sincere, making people immersed in it!
