In the turbulent era of the Republic of China, Su Wanqing, who came from a scholarly family, accidentally met the dominating young marshal Gu Yanting. Falling in love at first sight, the two hearts cling to each other in troubled times, and their brief companionship becomes the light in each other's dark lives.

When the smoke gradually dissipated and I looked back at that unforgettable past, I suddenly realized that the most sincere confession in my heart was eventually buried by the troubled times and never had time to say it out.
