At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the patriot Jian Qingguo was framed by traitors for supporting Lin Zexu in selling cigarettes, and was executed by the authorities. Only the nine-year-old daughter of the Jian family, Jian Shuying, was rescued by the dashing young master Yuan Heng of the Wang family. In order to hide his life experience, he changed his name to Shanjia, and Wang Yuanheng gave him an incense stick.
Many years later, Shanjia summoned souls to save lives, and unexpectedly discovered that this person was actually Bao Yingtian, who had falsely accused his father of taking bribes. In order to avenge the blood feud, Bao Yingtian was executed on the spot, committing a capital crime. In order to save Shanjia, Wang Yuanheng spent money to buy her as his wife.
Later, with the support of Wang Yuanheng, Shanjia went to the United States to study journalism. After returning to China, Shanjia used a pen as a weapon and was forced to go to jail because he angrily rebuked President Yuan Da for not supporting participation in World War I.
At this time, Wang Yuanheng's business was getting bigger and bigger, and he used funds to force the government to release him. The two secretly fell in love during their relationship. Yuanheng funded Shanjia to set up a newspaper, and Shanjia became the number one news person in China.
Wang Yuanheng's father, Wang Zhihe, was an out-and-out royalist. Knowing that Wang Yuanheng secretly funded the revolution, he specially arranged for him to marry Gu Caiwei, the daughter of royalist Gu Yuanxing. He refused. Gu Caiwei became pregnant and Wang Yuanheng was imprisoned. Shanjia quit willingly. In his early years, Wang Yuanheng met Shanjia's father Jian Qingguo because he supported the revolution. He suspected that the Jian family case in the 25th year of Guangxu's reign was related to his father. It was finally confirmed that the entire Jian family was wiped out and Wang Zhihe was involved. Shan Jia breaks up with Yuan Heng after knowing the truth.
Three years later, Jian Shanjia was included in the warlord's blacklist. At a business dinner, Shanjia spoke as a reporter. Yuan Heng found a killer hiding in the dark and was about to shoot. He rushed forward to hug Shanjia and block the fatal bullet for her...
Intent: Shan Jia, the number one journalist in China, uses his pen as a sword, and has a life-and-death love affair with industrialist Wang Yuanheng in troubled times.
