During the troubled times of the Republic of China, under the neon lights of Shanghai, the magic city of the Far East, there was a bone-eroding sadomasochism hidden. Su Manqing, an orphan girl from Peiping, with her last hope after her family was ruined, turned to her mentor and protégé, business tycoon Lu Jingyuan. He is an industrial tycoon who can turn his hands into clouds and rain. Under his cold and hard shell, he hides a fatal secret; she is a proud and tough down-and-out daughter who uses gentleness as a blade to cut through the barren barriers of his life.
The first meeting was the humility of being dependent on someone else, and the reunion was the shock of coughing up blood in the middle of the night; his tenderness was redemption, but also a trap - the public humiliation of the wealthy marriage at the dinner made her see the identity gap clearly, and she was heartbroken and wanted to leave; his push away was protection, but also a sharp blade - he sent her to the United States with a decisive attitude, just to isolate herself from all fatal threats.
After three years of looking through the autumn water, what awaited him was never his return, but his last letter stained with blood and dust, and the ending of the mansion being burned down and the tombstone being cold. She clutched his jade pendant and fulfilled the promise of the next life with her lifelong obsession. Under the setting sun of the Republic of China, she spent the rest of her life continuing to write the life-and-death bond of extreme love.
He used his life to pave the way for her, and she used her years to guard him till the end. Is this love that began in troubled times and ended in reincarnation a trick of fate, or is it a fate engraved in the bone marrow?
