Lin Jingsheng, a female scientist who returned from studying in Britain, believes data is the only truth.
Shen Qingyun, a female journalist who returned from studying in Japan, is convinced that only a cry can awaken people's hearts.
In 1946, cholera swept through Lingang City.
Through her microscope, Lin Jingsheng was the first to uncover the shocking conspiracy behind the epidemic, but the cold machinery of the system buried the data.
In the streets and alleys, Shen Qingyun wielded her pen like a gun, crying out for the voiceless dead. But she was pursued by secret agents and thrown into prison.
When their pursuers' guns drove them into the same laboratory with nowhere left to run, reason and emotion clashed head-on for the first time.
In her eyes, the other was a reckless flame that would stop at nothing. In his, she was an unfeeling block of ice, detached from reality.
Yet in the darkness, with death only a breath away...
Her data became the only bullet she could use to pierce the lies.
Her cries became the only echo in her frozen world.
From laboratory prisoners forced to share a life, to secret allies moving through the night, they found different ways to become two lights in a broken era, illuminating each other and trying to light up their times.
The storm clouds of a chaotic age gather darkly, while true love and ideals burn like fire.
This is an epic that begins with a clash of ideals and ends in the resonance of two souls.
They are each other's mirror, and each other's only co-conspirator.
Highlights:
▷ Two formidable female leads: an intense meeting of minds
▷ The turbulent Republic of China: a women's epic shaped by love for country and family
▷ Professional convictions: a journey of redemption through scientific reason versus humanistic passion
Theme: In a dark age, reason and emotion are the two lights needed to bring the dawn. By illuminating each other, they become whole.
