Introduction to the full plot of Romance of the Fallen City:

This TV series is adapted from the classic novel "Romance of the Fallen City" by legendary Chinese writer Eileen Chang.

In the 1930s, in Shanghai. The Bai family, who were once extremely wealthy as former Qing dynasty scholars, had been declining year by year, spending their fortune until it was almost gone. Their situation became so bad that they struggled with daily life. Miss Bai Liusu's marriage was arranged, and Grandma Bai tried to arrange a decent wedding by asking for money from all the branches of the family. Cousins Three Bai Liangyue and Four Bai Liangyou both evaded responsibility, arguing over small sums of money. This made Bai Liusu realize the coldness of the world for the first time.

Bai Liusu married Tang Yiyuan, the son of one of the richest families in Shanghai at the time, which caused a sensation. The cunning Tang Lao Ye wanted to add "nobility" to his wealth, so he arranged this feudal marriage for his son. Bai Liusu wanted to escape the declining Bai mansion, but she only jumped from one cage into another pit of fire. Tang Lao Ye fundamentally looked down on the Bai family's adherence to old customs and obsession with appearances. After marriage, Tang Yiyuan continued to be idle and womanize. While shuttling between the two families, Bai Liusu also had to deal with her husband's affairs, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted.

Tang Yiyuan was caught smoking opium with his concubine, and when discovered by Tang Lao Ye, the concubine was expelled from the house. Tang Yiyuan became even worse, and during Bai Liusu's pregnancy, he took Hu Yun, a singer of Pingtan music, as his concubine. Bai Liusu felt utterly hopeless, and her unborn child suffered a miscarriage. Losing his grandson, Tang Lao Ye tacitly approved of his son's actions. Bai Liusu endured neglect in the Tang family, living day by day like years, even being threatened with a gun by Tang Yiyuan. Bai Liusu decided to divorce, but neither the poor Bai family nor the face-conscious Tang family agreed to the divorce. With no way out, Bai Liusu attempted suicide by hanging, but was fortunately saved by her sister Baoluo, who alone understood her pain. Out of necessity, Bai Liusu returned to her mother's house under the name of the Tang family. The Tang family gave her a sum of money sufficient for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life, with the condition that as long as Tang Yiyuan was alive, Bai Liusu could not remarry.

Life was not easy for Bai Liusu back at the Bai residence. Her snobbish sister-in-law forced her to pay for meals, while her brother schemed to get her money. When Bai Liusu ran out of money, they turned cold towards her. She could only confide in her sister Baoluo, deepening their bond. Bai Liusu sold her jewelry to go to court and finally divorced Tang Yiyuan. Tang Yiyuan soon tired of Hu Yun and remarried with Liang Mengli. Tang Yiyuan was kidnapped, but Bai Liusu, without holding grudges, generously helped to ransom him back. Tang Lao Ye regretted losing such a good daughter-in-law. Both Tang Yiyuan and Liang Mengli died from overdosing on opium. Tang Lao Ye offered a generous price, hoping Bai Liusu would return to the Tang family to adopt a nephew to continue the family line. The Bai family tried to make Bai Liusu return to the Tang family to solve their own difficulties, but Baoluo advised her sister not to remain a widow forever.

In Hong Kong, Fan Liu Yuan was originally the illegitimate son of Indonesian businessman Fan Tianhe. After his father suddenly passed away, the Fan family deprived him of his inheritance rights, leaving Fan Liu Yuan penniless and destitute, working hard for a living and suffering much humiliation, eventually falling into the hands of the underworld. During a kidnapping case, Fan Liu Yuan helped Shanghai businessman Mr. Xu escape safely, and Mrs. Xu, who happened to be Bai Liusu's matchmaker.

When Fan Liu Yuan was at his lowest point in life, he met the gentle and kind Hong Lian. They fell deeply in love, but Hong Lian's brother opposed their relationship. Meanwhile, Fan Liu Yuan befriended Qiu, an outstanding lawyer who lived in poverty. With Qiu's help, Fan Liu Yuan went to England, enduring many hardships to obtain proof of his birth and win the lawsuit over his inheritance, inheriting millions of dollars overnight. However, when Fan Liu Yuan returned to Hong Kong, Hong Lian had already married someone else under pressure from her brother, breaking Fan Liu Yuan's heart. Hong Lian was unhappy after marriage and soon fell ill and died, making her death a permanent pain in Fan Liu Yuan's heart. From then on, Fan Liu Yuan became cynical and played around with women.

Xu, whose life Fan Liu Yuan once saved, saw this and wanted to help Fan Liu Yuan resolve his inner conflicts. He invited Fan Liu Yuan to Shanghai for relaxation and let Mrs. Xu introduce a girlfriend to Fan Liu Yuan. Under Mrs. Xu's arrangement, Fan Liu Yuan met Miss Baoluo of the Bai family, but left a deep impression on Bai Liusu who accompanied them. Bai Liusu accidentally overshadowed Baoluo during a dance, leading to cold remarks from her family and misunderstandings from Baoluo, making Bai Liusu very sad. Her situation in the Bai family became increasingly difficult.

After returning to Hong Kong, Fan Liu Yuan couldn't stop thinking about Bai Liusu and entrusted Mrs. Xu to invite Bai Liusu to Hong Kong. The Bai family hoped Bai Liusu would return to the Tang family, putting Bai Liusu in a dilemma: should she return to the Tang family as a widow or go to an uncertain future in Hong Kong? Bai Liusu determined to take control of her own destiny and went to Hong Kong.

However, in her interactions with Fan Liu Yuan, Bai Liusu found that although Fan Liu Yuan was infatuated with her, he only viewed her as a lover and did not want to marry her, refusing to give her any commitments. Bai Liusu learned about Fan Liu Yuan's past and the deceased Hong Lian from Qiu, moved by Fan Liu Yuan's deep affection. Yet, she still insisted on her principles and refused to be a lover. Fan Liu Yuan loved and hated Bai Liusu's persistence, intentionally treating her warmly and coldly, and showing great attention to an Indian princess in front of Bai Liusu.

At this time, the war in Shanghai was spreading. Baoluo was falsely accused by her brother and sister-in-law in the Bai family and almost died to prove her innocence. She bravely set off alone to send her biological mother's ashes back home, losing contact with her family. Upon hearing the news, Bai Liusu was anxious and wanted to rush back to Shanghai.

The night before Bai Liusu returned to Shanghai, both she and Fan Liu Yuan were extremely complex in their feelings. Fan Liu Yuan called Bai Liusu but stubbornly refused to speak, and Bai Liusu almost surrendered. But her dignity ultimately triumphed over her impulsiveness.

Bai Liusu and Baoluo returned home at the same time. Liusu found that Baoluo had grown rapidly into a thoughtful and courageous girl through this adventure. She also fell in love with her savior, anti-Japanese officer Zhao Qiusheng. Baoluo resolutely followed Zhao Qiusheng to the rear hospital for the anti-Japanese resistance. For love and the ideal of saving the country, Baoluo seemed reborn, full of passion and fighting spirit.

Bai Liusu's departure made Fan Liu Yuan more depressed. At this time, the descendants of the Fan family presented so-called new evidence to try to reclaim Fan Liu Yuan's property. Fan Liu Yuan almost wanted to give up, and Lawyer Qiu angrily criticized his cowardly behavior. Tired of dealing with everything, Fan Liu Yuan's longing for Bai Liusu grew stronger every day.

The Bai family deteriorated further, and to maintain their livelihood, Grandma Bai rented out part of the Bai mansion. Bai Liusu fell to living in the same room as the servants. Mr. Wu, a tenant, admired Bai Liusu's talent and proposed to her, while at the same time, Bai Liusu received a call from Fan Liu Yuan inviting her to Hong Kong again. Bai Liusu went to Hong Kong again.

As soon as they met at the Hong Kong airport, the emotions between Bai Liusu and Fan Liu Yuan erupted like a volcano. All Bai Liusu wanted was a truly loving Fan Liu Yuan, not someone who loved her because of Hong Lian. Even though Fan Liu Yuan still hadn't given her any promises, Bai Liusu no longer cared about these things. She admitted that she had fallen deeply in love with Fan Liu Yuan and decided to abandon everything, even becoming his lover didn't matter to her anymore. The two of them thus loved each other passionately.

The Pacific War broke out, and Shanghai was attacked by the Japanese army. The Bai Liangyue and Bai Liangyou families fled but eventually returned to the Bai family. Baoluo and Zhao Qiusheng held a wartime wedding.

Hong Kong fell, and the entire city was bombed. Fan Liu Yuan urgently wanted to return to London to handle matters but had to separate from Bai Liusu due to the war, which prevented his departure. Bai Liusu braved the artillery fire to find Fan Liu Yuan. Facing life and death, all worldly constraints disappeared, and Fan Liu Yuan finally opened his heart, loudly proposing to Bai Liusu amidst the gunfire!

The war destroyed a city but also created a deeply moving love.

Thus concludes the story of "Romance of the Fallen City."
