In the early years of the Republic of China, in the hazy mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, wealthy son Xu Zhenyu and Jiang Wei, the daughter of a dance hall owner, met by the West Lake. The two became connected due to an accident, but they couldn't help themselves in the troubled times. Guilt and pity are intertwined, and affection gradually arises.
However, due to a twist of fate, Jiang Wei was forced to marry into the Xu family and became Xu Zhenyu's father's second wife. Family intrigues, secular ethics, and war are raging, and the love between Xu Zhenyu and Jiang Wei is struggling in the cracks. He tried to resist fate, but was defeated by reality time and time again; she was patient and restrained, but could not hide the deep feelings in her heart.
In the end, Xu Zhenyu died resolutely to protect Jiang Weichun, leaving her to face this glitzy and troubled world alone.
This is a story about love and miss. It started in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River and ended in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Deep love and shallow love cannot withstand the impermanence of fate after all.
