Because her grandfather died when she was just born, Yutong was ignored by the villagers and was called the dead weed "Willow Artemisia". She and her childhood sweetheart Zixuan were bullied by Liu Tiegang, the bully of the Liu family. After the dedicated old village chief died of illness, the eldest son Dou Zhun climbed to the position of village chief through conspiracy and colluded with Uncle Liu to oppress the villagers. Severe natural disasters came one after another, causing Wugu Village to become an unviable abandoned village. Amidst the abuse, Dou Zhun had to lead the whole village to flee to the new village in order to survive. After going through countless hardships on the way to escape, only two people, Yutong and Zixuan, survived in the cold winter. They were rescued by Park Yitong, a fugitive from the same village who lived in seclusion in the mountains, and spent the cold winter together in a cave home. But when they arrived in the new village, they found that it was very different from what they had imagined.
They suffered discrimination in the new village and were ignored by the villagers. The bandit incident caused them to become the public enemies of the whole village, and they were forced to go up the mountain to find Park Yitong. Under the coercion of everyone, Park Yitong committed suicide in despair. The villagers tied them to a raft and pushed them into the river and left them to die. Fortunately, the martial arts girl Liqiu rescued them after everyone left. In order to survive, they floated far away along the river and embarked on the road to escape again. After going through wind and rain and suffering, they finally came to the city in their dreams.
Willow Hao Ya has tenacious vitality, and with the spirit of self-improvement, she lives bravely and endlessly.
