Ye Nian, the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, grew up with her family in Yucheng on the frontier. By the age of fifteen, she could already wield a spear on the battlefield, earning glorious military honors. When she returned to the capital to report on her service, the emperor arranged a marriage between her and Nangong Han, a man she had never met, so his beloved son could ascend the throne without a hitch. On their wedding day, Ye Nian discovered that Nangong Han was a friend of her elder brother.
Later, Nangong Han became crown prince as he had wished. Yet on the very day he was invested, the entire Ye family was massacred. The blood of the Ye family paved his splendid road to power. Ye Nian fled back to Yucheng, but died along the way, in Nangong Han’s arms. He had thought that once he reached the highest position, he would be able to protect the woman he loved. He never imagined she would die in his arms.
Nangong Han unexpectedly returns to the past and vows to rewrite their fate.
