In the capital city of the Republic of China, old and new trends of thought all went their own way.
Lin Dongcen, the son of the Lin Mansion, came from a century-old family. He abided by the ethics in every word and deed, and was recognized by everyone in the capital as an old-style conservative gentleman.
Xie Yunyi grew up overseas since she was a child and has extensive knowledge. After returning to her hometown, she is the only new-style girl in the capital with a broad vision.
They met by chance at an elegant gathering of literati. The two were polite and personable, impeccable in front of outsiders.
But the two of them secretly complained wildly in their hearts. He felt that she acted out of line and had shocking ideas; she felt that he had old ideas and was bound by rules everywhere.
Everyone concluded that these two people had conflicting views and would definitely have no contact with each other in the future.
But no one expected that a long process of ideological remolding would begin.
She exports new knowledge day after day, dismantles his deep-rooted old ideas bit by bit, and completely transforms the conservative gentleman.
And his unswerving sincerity in his heart also made her understand the meaning of sticking to her faith after returning from an overseas trip, and she found the ideal she had longed for throughout her life.
