The story takes place in the early 1920s, when the Qing government had just been abolished and everything was waiting to be revitalized in the early days of the Republic of China.

But this seemingly beautiful encounter became the beginning of thousands of days and nights of solitude, like a cursed obsession that extends to the next generation, and even the next generation.
Concept: Based on real events, a love that spans a hundred years, from love to final reconciliation.
