Shen Qingyue, a young lady from a declining family in Shanghai, was publicly annulled by the warlord's son at the Qin family's birthday party. A glass of red wine stained the cheongsam left by her mother. Everyone thought she was doomed - her family was in ruins and her marriage had failed. In this chaotic world of cannibalism, what kind of drama could a single woman make? But she refused to accept her fate.
Lu Huaian, the elegant editor-in-chief of the newspaper, walked out of the crowd and put a suit on her shoulders: "Miss, do you need a witness?" The next day, the scandal of Qin's collusion with Japanese businessmen hit the headlines in Shanghai. He handed her a note and a choice she couldn't refuse——
"What is translated here is not words, but life and death."
When the heirloom jade pendant led her into a secret battlefield, and when the past of her childhood sweethearts was revealed in gunfire, Shen Qingyue was shocked to realize that what her mother left her was not just a piece of jade, but a mission codenamed "Blue Bird" and a plan called "Jingzhe".
From Morse code on the dance floor to protecting each other with life in the fire scene, from escaping from suspended animation to returning with one arm - he held other people's hands at the engagement party, and she gave birth to "Nian'an" alone in the delivery room. In the past seven years, the mountains and rivers have been shattered, and old friends have been scattered. Only the ring engraved with "to return" and the two jade pendants combined into one remember the promises they made.
This is a chess game that began with the break-up of the engagement, and is also a reunion spanning twenty-three years.
When the smoke cleared, the one-armed man stood on the pier and raised the iron box with his remaining hand: "I owe you a wedding for seven years. My arm is gone, and my life is almost gone - but the ring is still there. I will come back to marry you."
The mountains and rivers are safe, and I am hiding with you.
In this life and in the next life, I will be yours.
