In an ancient dynasty where wars raged, the northern border became the front line of national security. The young female general Ye Qinglan and the counselor Su Mubai met each other on this land. They work hand in hand to face the invasion of the border and the intrigues of the court. After the death of his father, Ye Qinglan resolutely took on the important task of guarding the northern border; Su Mubai, under the appreciation of the old general, grew from a scholar to a wise and courageous counselor. The two fell in love with each other secretly during the difficult years, and their feelings gradually became clear. As the war progresses and political struggles take place, their love and loyalty face severe tests, and they eventually compose a heart-stirring legend in the intertwining of fate.
