A conspiracy quietly began unfolding seventeen years ago.
From the moment she was born, Fang Juexia (Lin Wanning) was destined for a life of hardship.
Years ago, the emperor himself had decreed a marriage between the Lin family and the General's Residence.
In the bitter winter, snow fell thickly across Guangling, yet Fang Juexia still could not escape her fate. Seventeen years later, she died a tragic death at another's hands.
Xia Wei, a wealthy modern art student, transmigrated into her body. To stay alive, she sought the truth, even agreeing to marry in place of another to bring good fortune to the crippled young general, Pei Jingchu.
Having lost some of her memories, Lin Wanning investigates the truth behind her death while searching for a way back to her own world.
The austere, aloof Pei Jingchu finds himself drawn to her, but is powerless to act on his feelings.
For her own safety, Lin Wanning puts herself on the line to win Pei Jingchu over.
Thus begins their life as a married couple, courteous but distant at first, until they fall in love over time and find themselves unable to turn back, each moving toward the other.
As she searches for the truth, she uncovers the shocking secret of her birth.
A secret buried for more than a decade is finally brought to light.
