Synopsis
For every young Chinese woman in 1930s Shanghai, following the path of duty takes precedence over personal desires For Feng, that means becoming the bride of a wealthy businessman in a marriage arranged by her parents.

The life that has been forced on her makes Feng bitter and resentful, and she plots a terrible revenge. But with the passing years comes a reckoning, and Feng must reconcile herself with the sacrifices and terrible choices she has made in order to assure her place in the family and society-even as the violent, relentless tide of revolution engulfs her country.
