A refined young lady who studied abroad vs. a roguish general
At a Monte Carlo casino in London,
she met a man in a white suit.
A gambler, a playboy, a shameless flirt.
She thought it was just a fling abroad, something they’d end once they’d had their fun.
But he kissed her, claimed her, and then... disappeared.
After she returned home, her father forced her to marry a decorated general.
On their wedding night, she gripped a pair of scissors, ready to fight for her life.
When her veil was lifted, the face revealed was none other than Fu Yunshen, who had vanished three months earlier.
In his uniform, he flashed her a roguish smile. “Madam, how have you been?”
War broke out. He went to the front, and her family fell into ruin.
She traveled a thousand miles to find her husband, only to be captured and tortured.
He found her and pulled her from a heap of corpses.
Just when she thought their suffering was finally over, he tried to hand her over to an enemy commander in exchange for supplies.
She refused to accept her fate and went to gamble on her own.
She lost everything and plunged into the Yellow River.
Everyone thought she was dead.
But he didn’t know she was still alive, only that she had forgotten him.
