In 1934, Shen Wangshu, who had returned from studying abroad, went dormant in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River under a pseudonym and became the most gentle and gentle Chinese scholar in the middle school. No one knows what kind of shocking past and edge he hides under his gentle skin.
Gu Huaishuang is the only son of the richest man in town. He seems rebellious and unruly, but in fact he is an eagle trapped in a golden cage, with a desolate heart. Shen Wangshu's arrival was like a bright light, splitting the darkness of his world.
He is also a teacher and a friend, and he becomes a confidant. They got closer in the collision of ideas and embraced each other in the crisis of the current situation.
However, the war will eventually burn away the last peace. When the secret of his identity was revealed and the choice of his country was faced, Shen Wangshu said to Gu Huaishuang: "If I can't see the dawn, then you go to see the new China for me."
Mountains and rivers are broken, they are each other's only spark and faith in the darkest moment.
Intention: A carefully planned escape turned into a destined encounter.
