In an age ravaged by war, with the nation on the brink of survival and undercurrents running through the turbulent times of cooperation between the Nationalists and Communists, young people are still growing up. No matter the era, youth is always alike, and so is love. Yet perhaps, tested by blood and fire and never knowing if they will live to see tomorrow, their youth shines brighter, their love is truer, and they grow at an even more terrible cost...
A pair of strikingly talented young people in the military, and a brother and sister from a wealthy Nanyang merchant family: how will the fates of these four young people, each with a different personality but the same dream of saving their country, become hopelessly intertwined? Can they survive the smoke and fire of war? Amid prejudice and stubborn convictions, can they see what is truly in their hearts?
When the story reaches its end, the conclusion is no mystery. But the years they once lived through, the old grievances and tangled affections that have gradually faded, and the people who will never return really did exist.
