In the troubled times of the Republic of China, wars raged. At the banquet for Shen Zhiyi's return to China, she was a dignified and noble lady from an aristocratic family, and he was a cold-faced officer who looked down upon the whole city. The first meeting was a trial and a confrontation.
She was dedicated to saving the country and the people; he was trapped in the whirlpool of power, and at first watched the storms of his family and country indifferently.
The war rages on year after year, and the iron heel of invasion destroys half of the country. Shen Zhiyi lost her daughter's squeamishness and sneaked into the occupied areas to do underground work, walking on the edge of the knife; Lu Jingheng witnessed the loss of the country and the suffering of his compatriots, recognized the reality, broke through the resistance from all sides, led his troops to the revolutionary camp, and rushed to the anti-Japanese front line in uniform.
The two went from being at odds with each other to having the same soul. One lurked in the dark, using pen and ink and forbearance as his blade; the other fought in the open, using guns and flesh as his shield. They are revolutionary comrades walking side by side, and they agree to wait until the country is safe and the country is reborn.
