In the Shanghai History Museum, a drop of blood from Shen Lingyi's fingertip fell on the white orchid embroidery of the Republic of China suit. When she opened her eyes again, she was already in Shanghai on July 6, 1937 - the eve of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.
She met Cen Yanxun. A top industrialist in Shanghai, he wears suits and leather shoes and is gentle and elegant, and he speaks with dignity and strategizes. Historically, he should have died heroically in 1941.
But this time, she wanted him alive.
From the isolated island of Shanghai to the capital of Chongqing, from the gendarmerie's torture cell to the city-wide fireworks along the Jialing River, they walked side by side through eight years of war. He uses industry to save the country as his battlefield, and she uses intelligence codes as her weapon. In troubled times, they are each other's only partners, only confidants, and only weaknesses and armors.
"When the war is over, we will open a bookstore on Shantang Street in Suzhou. Plant a white orchid in the yard. When it blooms in spring, the fragrance will fill the entire alley."
Later, the bookstore opened. The white orchids are blooming. They grew old together.
The promise of life and death in the war of the Republic of China was an affectionate fate that spanned a hundred years.
