In the 16th year of the Republic of China, the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River was hazy, but it could not wash away the devastation of the world.
The warlords are separatist, wars are raging, the land of Kyushu is devastated, and the people are struggling to survive in dire straits. The water town in the south of the Yangtze River was originally a paradise on earth described by literati, with green tiles and white walls, small bridges, flowing water, and the sound of musical instruments. However, in this troubled world, no matter how stable the years are, they are nothing more than mirrored flowers and moonlight, which will shatter at the touch of a touch.
The Su family in Gusu is one of the most scholarly families in the south of the Yangtze River. It is also engaged in the silk weaving industry. The family is well-educated and well-off. Su Nianyao, the only daughter of the Su family, was raised in the palm of her hands by her parents since she was a child. She was well-read in poetry and books, and was good at playing, playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting. She has gentle eyebrows, skin that is better than snow, and a temperament like an orchid in an empty valley. Her every move and smile is the gentleness and agility unique to Jiangnan women. She is a daughter of a famous family praised by everyone in Gusu City.
At that time, Su Nianyao didn't know the dangers of the world, nor the unpredictable nature of people's hearts. She only knew how to spend her years in the sound of calligraphy, ink, and piano, thinking that she would be able to live peacefully and peacefully in this life. But she never thought that a catastrophic disaster would come without warning, completely crushing her world, causing her to fall from the clouds into the mire, and she would embark on a journey through troubled times full of thorns, blood, love and hate.
