Synopsis

After their mother's death, sisters Junan and Yinan vow to stay together forever. Growing up in their wealthy father's house in Hangzhou, their lives take a dramatic turn when their father gambles away Junan's hand in marriage to the ambitious Li Ang.

Junan, despite her initial fears, falls deeply in love with her husband, a mistake that mirrors her mother's tragic past. When Li Ang is sent to Chongqing to protect the wartime capital, a tormented Junan makes a second fateful decision, sending her quiet younger sister Yinan to join him.
