In the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, Lingnan.
The hot and humid miasma surrounds the old city of Linjiang, the commercial docks are a mixed bag of fish and dragons, the warlords are still in power, and the undercurrents of all parties are surging.
Shen Yanzhou, on the surface, is an elegant businessman running a tea shop, but his true identity is lurking behind enemy lines, using the transportation of tea goods as a cover to pass on intelligence and cover the evacuation of progressive people. He has a deep mind and is good at dealing with the military, government, and businessmen. He works step by step and quietly stirs up the chess game in Lingnan.
Su Wanqing, the daughter of a medical family, inherited the ancestral medicine shop. She has excellent medical skills and is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Originally she only wanted to guard the medicine shop to save lives and heal the wounded, but under the influence of the chaotic world, she accidentally stumbled upon a secret and was involved in a multi-party game. When they first met, she was suspicious of Shen Yanzhou's identity and was wary of him at all times; after getting along with him, she saw that he was brave and responsible for his family and country under his disguise. He volunteered to use the drug store as a secret contact point, used his medical skills to save people, and used his medicine box to hide secrets.
Lingnan is foggy, and everything in the world is like chess.
The two tested each other and supported each other in the crisis-ridden old city, and developed a restrained and deep affection during the war. The interests of family and country come first, and personal love can only be kept deep in the heart. Wharf raids, jungle transfers, spy sieges, and traitors' betrayals followed one after another. Every encounter was lurking in danger, and every time we parted, we didn't know if we would see each other again.
In troubled times, no one can survive alone. In the hot and humid wind and rain in Lingnan, they used their mortal bodies to guard a spark. The mountains and rivers are swaying, and the love of children gives way to the family and the country; the war in Lingnan, a past event is buried in the years. When the smoke dissipated, the Linjiang tea shop was already deserted. Only the past hidden in the banyan trees, tea smoke, and the fragrance of medicine remained quietly in the long rainy season in Lingnan.
Purpose: Love in the Republic of China
