share time: 2025-10-05 02:30:59

In 1924 (the 13th year of the Republic of China), Su Rong, the top courtesan at "Lotus Pavilion" by the Qinhuai River, has a lotus-like face and unmatched qin skills. Yet she never smiles at guests—all because of a promise from Gu Zhao, a poor scholar: "Wait for me, I’ll marry you." Ten years later, Shen Hanchuan, a warlord’s young marshal, bursts in with a demolition order to tear down the pavilion for a military outpost. Su Rong serves him the lotus cake he loved years ago, only to spot a jade lotus pendant from his cuff—the very token she sold her jewelry to buy for Gu Zhao. The truth: Gu Zhao faked his death after his family was wrongfully executed, taking the name Shen Hanchuan to seek revenge. But when he tastes the familiar sweetness, memories flood back: the girl who smiled like a lotus, giving him cake outside the pavilion. Can old love melt the hatred in his cold heart, or will the chilly spring wind blow away all their tenderness?
