One Second Too Far: Zhang Linghe and Wang Churan's Redemption

In Republican-era Shanghai, Murong Qingyi, the warlord’s youngest son, suffered abuse at the hands of his adoptive father after being switched at birth. When he ran away as a boy, Ren Susu saved him, but her family paid the price, meeting with utter ruin. Years later, they met again and fell quietly in love. But to save someone else, Ren Susu resolutely faked her death and fled, leaving Murong Qingyi to drown in the pain of losing the woman he loved.

Just as their misunderstandings began to unravel and their passion reignited, disaster struck the nation.

With death-defying resolve, Murong Qingyi and Ren Susu stood together against a powerful enemy. Where will fate lead them?
