They all know it - one is a northern warlord, the other is the daughter of a merchant from the south of the Yangtze River; he is confronting the southern army, and her fiancé is her childhood sweetheart cousin. From the very beginning, this relationship was separated by the flames of war, identity and morality.
Xiao Yanzhi led his army south and forcibly requisitioned the Shen family's docks and warehouses in Pukou. In the Shen family's living room, Shen Jingqiu saw the legendary "North China Marshal" for the first time through the crack in the door - his back was turned to her while he was looking at the painting, and the moment he turned around, their eyes met.
She did not panic and avoid like an ordinary woman, but said two words coldly: "Get out of the way."
This was the first time in Xiao Yanzhi's life that he was told to "get out of the way". At that moment, he remembered a name - Shen Jingqiu.
Xiao Yanzhi's feelings for Shen Jingqiu began from curiosity, then fell into appreciation, and finally fell into her tenacity and sobriety. He was used to talking to Quan with a gun, but he awkwardly explained his difficulties in front of her and shared the past of his mother's death - that was a vulnerability he had never shown to anyone.
