Half the City in Flames, Half in Romance

Half the City in Flames, Half in Romance Plot:

In the 15th year of the Republic of China, the isolated city of Linzhou had been besieged by warlords for three months. Lin Wan, a doctor at the missionary hospital, refused to evacuate, staying with the last group of wounded. One night, she saved Gu Zhao, a bloodied major of the Northern Expedition Army—his mission was to blow up the enemy’s supply depot hidden behind the hospital. One fought to protect the people’s last hope, the other gambled on a turning point in the war. Though their stances clashed, they grew closer amid the gunfire. When Gu Zhao’s bomb countdown began, Lin Wan stood in his way with a scalpel: “You’re not blowing up a warehouse—you’re blowing up Linzhou’s life.” But hidden in his arms was the antibiotic he’d traded from the black market—the medicine Lin Wan had begged for half a month to save the critically wounded. Romance in the flames of war is always a heartbeat bought with one’s life.
