In the troubled times of the Republic of China, Shen Qingxu, an orphan girl who was born without pain and was sentenced to death at the age of twenty-five, had been filled with hatred for most of her life. However, due to the intrusion of the decisive and murderous warlord Huo Tingjun, Shen Qingxu found the only light in her life. He promised her Jiangnan Angelica Courtyard, and she carved all his marks into twenty-seven scars on her arms to remember this belated warmth.
During the Battle of Wuhan, the news that Huo Tingjun was "killed" shattered everything, and Shen Qingxu's body was also exhausted. Not wanting him to see her withered appearance, she hid the medical certificate and twenty years of blood and tears diary, left a final letter and faked her death to go to Hong Kong, leaving only an empty coffin for him.
After returning from a narrow escape, Huo Tingjun saw Bai Ling in the courtyard. After reading her affectionate words, he was so sad that he drew his gun and wanted to die. Fortunately, he learned the truth about her going to Hong Kong. From then on, he put down his army and traveled all over the country to search for her for thirteen years. Everywhere he went, he bought a pack of Angelica sinensis, twenty-three packs of Angelica sinensis, and missed her deeply.
And Shen Qingxu struggled to survive in Hong Kong, survived the war and bombings, miraculously survived the death by embroidering angelica sachets, and kept his promise for thirteen years.
