Prince Yongkang believes in appointing the worthiest heir rather than the eldest, and all three of his sons have a chance of succeeding him. For the sake of his future career, Censor Qiu decides to gamble on the most outstanding heir, Long Yinze. He offers his legitimate daughter as the heir’s concubine, hoping to form a political alliance with him. But his daughter is proud and refuses to become anyone’s concubine, so he has no choice but to send his concubine-born daughter in her place. Qiu Yueying is often bullied by her half-sister, and she seizes the chance to escape the Qiu household by readily accepting her father’s proposal. Wary of Censor Qiu, the heir decides to ruin the Qiu family by indulging them. He not only gives Qiu Yueying the rank of secondary consort, but also puts on a show of affection with her in public. Unwilling to be a puppet, Qiu Yueying takes the opportunity to flee into the martial world. He chases as she runs, and along the way she champions justice, punishes evil, learns swordsmanship at Wudang, retreats to the mountains to cultivate, and descends again to save the world... Through the trials of life, Long Yinze gradually finds clarity and discovers a new self, while Qiu Yueying steadily grows into her own and ultimately becomes a heroic martial artist capable of shouldering great responsibilities.
