Fu Yao, this concubine forgotten by everyone, her mother died young. Under the light of the eldest daughter Fu Wan, her existence is as humble as dust. She has been treated with cold eyes and humiliation, and is struggling to move forward in the family.
By chance, she got a glimpse of Shen Yichen, a young, handsome and decorated military officer at the birthday party of the eldest daughter of the Fu family. Shen Yichen was attracted by Fu Yao's beauty and invited her to dance with her. This dance revealed their fate and also revealed Fu Wan's jealousy. After that, Shen Yichen and Fu Yao developed a secret love. However, their road to love was full of thorns. The Fu family's family background prejudice and Fu Wan's malicious frame-up made them go through hardships. Fu Yao was falsely accused of possessing banned books and imprisoned. Shen Yichen desperately tried to rescue her. The two finally broke with the Fu family and left home.

He resolutely embarked on the path of studying medicine, became a medical volunteer and rushed to the battlefield, sharing life and death with Shen Yichen in the raging war. After the war, the Fu family declined, and Fu Wan was ruined because of her betrayal. Shen Yichen and Fu Yao returned to Jinling, held a grand wedding, founded a school together, devoted themselves to charity, warmed this vicissitudes of the world with love, and wrote their own legend.
