Love and hate. Hate and love. It's become synonymous in some place in the world. Feelings can't be controlled sometimes, and one might just fall in love with their enemy...
Yulan Liu just wants to survive. China is being invaded by the Japanese in the Second Sino-Japanese War, and her parents have already paid the death. She wants to do nothing but survive. However, that's not what's planned for her. A one Koyo Seo, general in the Japanese army, is sent to spy on her village and gather information.
And he sets his sights on her. He thinks the world is a game, and that it's his job to reach high society with a good reputation. And what honorable man doesn't enlist into the army and fight? He doesn't want to be here, but if this is was what life threw at him, it was what life threw at him.
But these two people are connected. A red string of fate connects them. And that spells trouble.
