During the Anti Japanese War in Shanghai, progressive young woman Han Shuying was framed by her aunt and forced to marry Su Bei tycoon Xie Bingyan as a concubine. Under the call of patriotic teacher Li Wenxuan, Han Shuying decided to escape marriage and join the ranks of saving the country. However, due to his classmate relationship with Xie Tianci, a young master of the Xie family, he was discovered by Xie Ruoxue, a young lady of the Xie family. The domineering Xie Ruoxue not only reported to her father, but also portrayed Han Shuying's' runaway marriage 'as a' elopement 'in an attempt to kill Han Shuying's' stepmother'. Just as Han Shuying's life was on the line, Xie Bingyan was shot by the Japanese for not wanting to betray his motherland. Han Shuying, who witnessed everything, was deeply moved by Xie Bingyan's patriotic spirit and resolutely chose to stay at the Xie family. She saved the Xie family in the name of Mrs. Xie and, with the help of Li Wenxuan, fled to Shanghai with Xie Ruoxue, touching her with practical actions. Under the background of the golden age, Han Shuying and Xie Ruoxue not only rely on each other as "mother and daughter", but also as "sisters" to interpret a legend of saving the nation from the war of resistance.
