In the 17th year of the Republic of China, the French Concession in Shanghai.
Shen Nian died in the rain in late autumn at the age of eighteen. Her sister exposed her "scandal" in public, her fiancé handed over forged evidence, and her father slapped her out of the house. Three days later, a black car ran over her body. She lay on the ground and watched Shen Wan holding Gu Mingqian's arm, holding an umbrella and smiling in the crowd.
Blood flowed into the sewer, and onlookers pointed and pointed - "You deserve it."
Before she died, she saw a strange man standing far away, wearing a dark gray gown and a black umbrella. Later, she heard that the man's name was Huo Huaijin, a leader of the Qinggang Gang, and he erected a monument for her. There were only two words engraved on the monument: Shen Nian.
When she opened her eyes again, she returned to the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, three days before the engagement party.
In this life, she doesn't want love, family affection, or mercy from anyone. She wanted to send Shen Wan and Gu Mingqian to hell with her own hands, she wanted to take back the Shen family's property that had been eroded, she wanted to stand at the top of Shanghai's underworld, and make everyone who stepped on her bones kneel down to pay their debts.
From the French Concession to Shiliupu, from the Qinggang to Hongmen, from Shili Foreign Market to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. She was ruthless and righteous, and died alone. She spent half her life seeking revenge and the rest of her life repaying her debts.
He spent all his property to support the anti-Japanese war, then turned around and became a monk after seeing through the world of mortals.
This is a woman's epic and a redemption from death.
