1936, Macau.
The biggest dream of Lin Haichao, the daughter of a fisherman, is to step ashore from the fishing boat.
She is bold and careful, dares to think and act, and relies on her ability to recognize fish, from the fish stall next to the A-Ma Temple to the Yangxing Street in Nanwan. No one believed that a fisherman's girl could stand up - but she wanted to prove that women could hold up the sky.
Shen Huaijin is the comprador of Deji Foreign Company. She wears a suit and speaks foreign languages, and is very popular. But no one knows what is hidden under the suit. The Chinese called him a traitor, and the foreigners regarded him as a tool. He struggled to survive, but secretly raised money and transported supplies for the anti-Japanese war and national salvation.
One wants to climb up, and the other wants to move forward.
When she wants to do business in a foreign company, he is both a help and a hindrance.
She didn't know his secret, and he didn't hide his edge from her.
A first encounter at the fish market, a game in the shopping mall, and a true love in troubled times.
In 1937, the Anti-Japanese War broke out.
He must go north and she must stay.
In front of the A-Ma Temple in Macau, he stepped on the boat heading north; she stood on the steps and watched him disappear into the horizon.
"I'll pick you up again when it gets daylight."
He said.
She believed him.
So every evening, she went to A-Ma Temple to light a lamp.
One year, ten years, fifteen years...
Until that day, he appeared in front of A-Ma Temple again.
"I'm back."
He said.
