Love Road 1931

In 1931, the French Concession in Shanghai was on Jiaeryeai Road, and the parasol trees were new. Shen Xintang, a 27-year-old female architect who returned from studying at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States, is the only female practitioner in the Municipal Works Bureau. He drives around the concession all year round for surveying and land surveying. He relies on his professional ability to gain a foothold in the male-dominated industry. He is calm and self-possessed and never compromises easily. Lu Beichen, a 22-year-old senior student at St. John's Business School, is the only son of a wealthy textile and real estate family. He wears a fine suit. He is aloof and taciturn at school and is difficult to approach strangers. However, he followed her silently for three weeks and tried dozens of fragrances in department stores across the city, just to distinguish her unique light woody scent. When they first met, he brought her the original construction blueprints of the old house that she had been searching for for two months and found Kunai's whereabouts. The young master of the Lu family, who was regarded as dignified and distant in the eyes of outsiders, could only shed all his coldness in front of her. Calling her "Little Treasure" in a soft voice, she waited for overtime work for a long time on rainy nights, and quietly stayed by the drawing table to keep her company. Both of them are trapped in the scars caused by their original families, and they see the same loneliness in each other. Even though there are arguments and pulls from time to time, they never want to let go of each other. She named him Jonathon, which means a gift from heaven. He only wanted to call himself the letter J in front of her, and he would not respond to other people's calls. As time went by, Jialyeai Road was renamed Dongping Road. Their meeting under the parasol trees in the spring of that year was just the prologue of their story.
