The Republic of China was in turmoil, warlords were separatist, and Japanese invaders were watching.
Jiang Zhiyu, the eldest daughter of the hidden Jiang family, came to Jiangcheng to fulfill her baby's marriage.
However, the young marshal Huo Linchuan cried out in public and refused to marry: "I won't marry! Will such an old-fashioned man marry me back to provide for me?"
Jiang Zhiyu calmly broke off the engagement and turned around to leave.
"Only I can use the Jiang family's luck."
Before he could finish his words, the army pressed on the territory. In order to "take advantage of the Jiang family's good fortune", the commander of the Zhenbei Army used artillery shells to smash open the door of the Huo family and force a marriage. Jiang Zhiyu knocked the adjutant away with one palm, tore the greeting card into pieces with both hands, and smashed the teacup into stone lions.
"If you want to fight, the Jiang family will accompany you to the end."
Only then did Huo Linchuan discover that this "old-fashioned" whom he despised was the Jiang family's once-in-three-hundred-year heir.
He is proficient in ancient martial arts, poison techniques, and mechanism techniques. The golden mark on the back of his hand comes from an extraterrestrial meteorite, and that stone is the key to the door of ancient civilization.
The Japanese army, warlords, Western plutocrats, mysterious organizations... All forces came out to snatch the secrets from her.
Huo Linchuan thought that he was a mechanical genius who had returned from studying abroad and could protect her. But she broke into the Japanese Snake Island Prison alone and rescued her father, who had been missing for three years.
He thought he was her only ally, but beside her stood her childhood sweetheart General, the Poison King who was both her enemy and friend, and the arms dealer who was pursuing her.
Huo Linchuan went from crying and refusing to marry to silently following her. From Jiangcheng to Shanghai, and from Shanghai to the Jiang family's ancestral home, he was always one step behind her.
She handed her a bowl of porridge, and he remembered it for the rest of his life.
