Since ancient times, men have been fickle. Can an emperor, the supreme ruler of the realm, truly love someone?
Li Congke is a noble, powerful prince, handsome as a tree. On his first visit to a brothel, he rescues the beauty Liu Lianxi, a famous courtesan dancing atop a lotus. They understand and cherish each other. The gulf between their status cannot keep the two deeply devoted lovers apart. Overcoming every obstacle, they eventually become a couple.
Then a palace coup brings another woman into Li Congke's life: Shi Aobing, a valiant general who helps him become emperor and rule the realm.
One is the consort he truly loves, the other the empress who stood by him through hardship, yet Li Congke cannot split his heart in two.
In this tangled love between three people, someone is bound to get hurt.
When the blossoms have all fallen, will they keep clinging to what cannot be, or let go and grant each other freedom?
