Xu Yan, a female surgeon who returned from studying abroad, settled alone in the French Concession in Shanghai in 1937. On a rainy night, she rescued a student who was bullied by Japanese ronin, but unexpectedly encountered Wen Pingzhong, who was seriously injured and had fled from Peking with a spy list. Wen Pingzhong mistook Xu Yan for being a spy and fought with him. He lost blood and passed out, losing his memory. Xu Yan took him home to take care of him out of the kindness of a doctor. The amnesiac Wen Ping is gentle and considerate, and his long-term relationship melts Xu Yan's lonely heart, but his flaws in being proficient in multiple languages and professional in fighting are constantly exposed. An obituary of the Wen family in Peking revealed his true identity: the young master of the Wen family, a senior official in Peking. His elder brother was killed by his traitor father-in-law and uncle Wen Shouming because he intercepted a spy list. When the killer comes to hunt for him, Wen Pingzhong regains his memory and realizes that he bears the heavy responsibility of his family and country. He wanted to leave alone to protect Xu Yan, but the two of them mutually agreed to overcome the difficulties together.
The loyal servant Qi Guang came to meet and fully revealed the crisis behind the list, and Xu Yan helped hide the information. The two met Zhu Shi'an, an underground party doctor, and planned to send the list to Chongqing. When the Battle of Songhu broke out, the two rescued the wounded, raised supplies, and retreated to Chongqing with the refugees to avoid being hunted. They successfully submitted a list, Wen Shouming surrendered to the law, and Wen Pingzhong married Xu Yan in a simple marriage. After the War of Liberation ended and New China was founded, the two took root in Shanghai and donated assets to build public hospitals. Their daughter inherited her mother's footsteps and studied medicine. As time goes by, the two of them grow gray-haired, and they often return to the wonton stall in the alley where they first met, looking back at the life together that began on rainy nights in troubled times and went through the tribulations of war.
