Nanjing, 1929

A cold winter gives way to a windy spring. Amid political instability, intelligence major general Lin Zehan enters into a marriage of convenience with the prime minister's daughter.

Their union is not a love story, but a strategic alliance.

They first met at a reception at her father's house - she attracted his attention with her aloofness and penetrating gaze, he - silent, reserved, full of internal wounds. A month later came the proposal of marriage. They married without a ceremony, without smiles, in silence.

Two months have passed. Between them there is silence, a cold closeness, no physical contact, but hints of something more are visible in small things. He brings her books, watches her tend to the garden without intruding. She is independent, freedom-loving, too subtle to be just an "officer's wife." He is a silent observer whose affection grows in the shadows.

Their relationship is like spring after a long winter: an almost imperceptible warming.
