A love story amidst the feasting and war-torn days of the Republic of China.
Gu Shen, the garrison commander who first arrived in Tongcheng, came from a prominent family and was a talented man. He was the golden son-in-law in the eyes of all the ladies from aristocratic families in Tongcheng.
But he just fell in love with Meng Yidong, whose family was in decline.
Gu Shen is a human being who is decisive in killing and cold-blooded, but who knows that all his tender feelings are given to Meng Yidong alone.
We met and fell in love when we were young, and then protected and doted upon them again.
"Two people for life," Gu Shen said, "Since I made a promise, I won't let you wait in vain."
However, fate plays tricks on people, and just when Gu Shen was ready to abandon everything, a misunderstanding made Meng Yidong heartbroken, and the flames of war broke out.
He sent her away with his own hands and went to the battlefield without worries.
"All I want in this life is you."
"What I want to do is, Yidong, give up the responsibilities on my shoulders, give up everything, and take you far away."
"That's my child, I know it, but I still have to send you away because I don't know if I can come back alive. I can't let you wait for me for seven years and spend the rest of your life on me."
"Yidong, you are still young and will meet a better lover. I hope he loves you as much as I do and tolerates everything about you. I hope he does not have my bad temper and is not overbearing, stingy and jealous like me."
Intention: In addition to patriotism, I also love you.
