As a princess of the Yuan Kingdom, she bears the responsibility of protecting her people. So whatever her father commands, she does!
When he tells her to leave her homeland, she agrees. When he tells her to conceal her identity as a princess, she willingly complies. When he tells her to infiltrate the Jin Kingdom, she is willing to take the risk.
When he tells her to kill, she is willing to give her life for her country.
Her father tells her, "Go and kill that prince of the Jin Kingdom."
Fu Hua does as he asks, but she fails to kill the prince and ends up entangled with him instead. Their back-and-forth turns their feelings into something else! Her mission fails, and after finally escaping and making it back home, she is schemed against by her own father.
When they meet again, they stand on opposing sides of a battlefield.
A great fire engulfs the entire palace. Xie Yu strides into the charred halls, carrying the head of Fu Hua's elder brother. Clad in a torn white robe and holding the imperial seal, Fu Hua stands on the steps.
Xie Yu recognizes her and learns her true identity. With Fu Hua's brother's head clutched in his hand, an invisible wall now separates their hearts even further.
On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, at the Imperial Gate Banquet:
"Look! My eyes aren't deceiving me, are they?"
"Xie Yu, you saw right! Your auntie is back to kill you again!"
A scheming emperor struggles to win back his beloved, while family feuds and national hatred stand in their way.
