Su Yao, a rich young lady, traveled to a poor family in ancient times and was rescued by young general Xiao Yichen on her way to escape because of choosing a concubine.
The general and Su Yao fell in love and decided to get married. With only three days left before the wedding, the general had to go to the border to suppress bandits. The general was killed by a traitor and died on the border.
Su Yao was kicked out of the general's mansion and was rescued by Meng Jingxuan, the son of the richest man. Meng Jingxuan used tricks to make Su Yao fall in love with him, and the two became husband and wife.
A year later, the "dead general" came back alive.
Su Yao and Xiao Yichen stood face to face and seemed like strangers to each other.
