In the turbulent times of the Republic of China, a divergent family background, deep love at first sight, and the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, Lin Wansheng, a girl from a farm in the south of the Yangtze River, left her hometown and went to Shanghai to raise a huge sum of money for her brother's medical treatment. By accident, she became a song and dance hall singer.
In the neon lights of troubled times, she meets Shen Yanci, a stern young man of power. He was used to being greeted by everyone, but he was deeply moved by her untainted tenacity and purity.
He protected her, gave her preference, and showed his only tenderness in troubled times. But there is an insurmountable identity barrier between a poor singer and a high-ranking military and political official.
Family pressure, worldly criticism, and current turmoil hit one after another, and love is broken step by step in the face of reality.
There is no consummation that changes one's destiny against the will of heaven, and there is no elopement that breaks one's family status.
After the warm encounter and regretful separation, the girl faded away from her glitz and returned to the ordinary world, leaving only a tragic song of the Republic of China in which she could not love.
The structure is clear.
