Synopsis

【Alternate Republican-era setting + marriage first, love later + two formidable leads】 A money-loving little blind woman who plays dumb × a cold-faced warlord who is calculating but deeply devoted After her family is destroyed, Lin Jingshu pretends to be blind to survive, playing music on the street with her eyes fixed only on the coins she needs to get by. Shen Yanqing, a cold, calculating warlord with a powerful army at his command, takes in a little blind woman for a monthly allowance of twenty silver dollars. Lin Jingshu does the math: meals and lodging included, high pay. What a bargain! She diligently plays the frail act, puts her rivals in their place, and collects her monthly allowance, making a great success of her role as Mrs. Shen. But Shen Yanqing’s acting grows increasingly unconvincing. When they are attacked, he holds her while his hands tremble. In front of outsiders, he protects her without the slightest regard for reason. Even before going to war, he insists she promise him: “Wait for me to come back.” Lin Jingshu: “Young Marshal, aren’t you taking the role a little too far?” Until she discovers the old photograph in his study... It turns out the convenient arrangement she believed she had entered was something he had planned for a long, long time, across the years.
