“Pei Mi... If I could, I would wish for us never to meet again.”
“No... Don't...”
“Ruoruo... Listen to me... It isn't what you think...”
The male lead, Pei Mi, is the eldest son of the former Crown Prince of the Great Yan Dynasty. After the Crown Prince is framed and executed by the late emperor, Pei Mi survives and grows up under the protection of his father's trusted retainers. As an adult, he hides his identity. To the world, he is the most trusted tutor to the current emperor; in secret, he is Tang Yichen, master of the renowned Phoenix Pavilion, whose power can stand against the imperial court. The female lead is a brave and skilled general, the Great General of Ningyuan and the future head of the Ji family. Her ancestors were trusted followers who helped the late emperor win the throne, but as their power grew, the current emperor began to fear them. The male and female leads fight side by side, going from mutual hostility to falling in love. Yet behind their love, a pair of eyes watches them in silence, waiting to deal them a fatal blow.
