In 1927, when Song Yunjin returned from England, his father mysteriously fell to his death. The only clue is a gold-gilt business card - Huo Zhongting, a financial tycoon in Shanghai and a guest of honor from Japan.
She married into the Huo family and became his third wife. On the wedding night, he said: "Don't look at things that shouldn't be seen about the Huo family, and don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked." She said, "I want it."
The gun was pressed to the back of the head in the study, and she thought he was the enemy who killed her father. But he said: "Before shooting, go to the third drawer in my study."
In the drawer is a legacy letter from his father: "Huo Zhongting can be trusted, but not trusted. He is your comrade, 'Gui'."
From hate to trust, from fake couple to true comrades-in-arms. In the past twenty-two years, they have experienced the fall of Shanghai, bloodshed on an isolated island, lurking in Hong Kong, and the night before dawn. I have lost my children, my comrades, and myself. But never lost each other.
"Song Yunjin, do you regret it?"
"No regrets."
Ordinary people in the great era, the road of no return in troubled times. They walked for twenty-two years and finally reached dawn.
