Calm, rational, and patient adjutant vs. alluring, thorny undercover courtesan
Song Jintian vs. Chen Man
Hehehe
Song Jintian is the only male heir in the eighteenth generation of the Song family. She commands the People's Party army and is a renowned adjutant in Shanghai.
Her achievements in life were many, striking terror into the island nation. In the end, however, she died in a carefully arranged assassination.
After her death, she remained in the world for thirty years, witnessing the tides of history and Chen Man's lonely life, as well as the lily that appeared every day before her grave.
Reborn, Song Jintian is still the Song family's proud only son, while Chen Man remains the leading courtesan of the club.
They meet again when Song Jintian is invited to the club for a bit of fun.
At the time, Song Jintian sits among a group of men, her expression cool as she watches those around her embrace courtesans and grope them. Without changing her expression, she turns down the third woman her friend has sent her way.
Her friend laughs and asks, "Young Master Song, what kind of woman do you want, exactly?"
Song Jintian lifts her lashes slightly and finally looks openly toward the woman seated in someone else's arms, chatting and laughing. The woman has long, wavy hair and holds a white jade pipe between her slender fingertips. Each parting of her red lips sends a cloud of smoke into the air.
She looks languid, and her casual words and smile make people's hearts tremble.
Song Jintian lifts her fair chin and nods toward the woman. "I want her."
.
Chen Man is the club's leading courtesan, stunningly beautiful. Every year, countless men and women, young and old, spend a fortune on her and go to desperate lengths for her.
She caters to her clients, moving with practiced ease among all kinds of men to gather intelligence for the People's Party.
There is only one person who has always treated her with cold indifference.
The Song family's eldest young master, Song Jintian, made a name for herself at a young age. Proper and courteous, she does not indulge in wine and women, and is a gentleman praised by everyone. She is always polite and respectful to others, but never shows Chen Man the slightest warmth.
Chen Man respects her and loves her, yet never dares to approach her.
Only after Song Jintian dies does Chen Man finally appear openly at her grave. For ten years, she brings a lily every day, yet never once speaks her love aloud.
.
In this second life, after all those years, Song Jintian finally sees the cautious love Chen Man had kept hidden.
Later, whenever they speak of the past, Chen Man always asks uneasily, "Jintian, do you think I'm dirty?"
Song Jintian gently takes her hand and answers through countless acts: in her heart, Chen Man is the purest cloud, a handful of moonlight, a peaceful sanctuary in this world.
