When he met her, it seemed all too late. He is rich, arrogant, and
spoiled by women, whereas she is past her golden age, financially
desperate and emotionally distrustful.  Love is a game that he no
longer cherishes, yet to her, it is a luxury beyond her reach.  Her
reserved yet unpretentious manner enchants him, but all he wants is an
affair with no commitments attached. How much would it take for the
two to fall in love, when love has lost its meaning? Maybe a city has
to fall, and the world as they know it has to come to an end.

Adapted from the well-known novella by Eileen Chang, "Love in a Fallen
City" takes you back to Shanghai and Hong Kong in the 1940s, when the
East and the West collide, intertwine, and flourish. Taking place
among the turmoil of World War II, the story is as romantic as it is
realistic, as sensational as it is subtle, and as modern and daring as
it is infused with old-time charm. This March, let love befall the
fallen city.

遇见她时，一切都太晚了。他多金傲慢，早已过尽千帆而纨绔不羁。她佳人迟暮，天真不再，却为五斗米而寻寻觅觅。爱情，于他是呼之来挥之去的玩物，于她是痴人说梦的奢侈。她深闺淑媛的气质诱惑着他，而他只想浅尝亵玩，既而全身以退。当爱已成仅可浅尝亵玩的小菜，他与她何以真心相许？或许，一座城邦必须为成全他们而倾覆，一个旧世界必须因之终结。

改编自张爱玲同名小说《倾城之恋》，本剧将观众带回四十年代的上海与香港。在这里，古老的东方与富强的西方于冲突的阵痛中孕生出瑰丽的文化；春申香江两岸，精致纷杂的海派图景织入朱红洒金的中式长卷。于烂漫中窥察现实，于铺陈下感触细微，于摩登年代回味前朝旧梦。三月春色，花事正兴，邀君共赴这场倾城之恋。
