When a country's female monarch glanced at the officials in the court, but quietly arranged the clothes of a man in white holding a medicine basket when no one was around, the secret of Xuanling Kingdom quietly surfaced.
Ling Yueyao, who wears a purple robe and a golden crown, has been involved in the whirlpool of power and intrigue since she was a child. She buries her mother's hatred deep in her heart and sits firmly on the throne with an iron-blooded wrist. But no matter how cold your heart is, it can't compete with the person who accompanies her through her childhood, heals her old wounds, and doesn't ask about her fame but only about her return date - Yun Yichen. In the eyes of the world, he was the "soft rice medical fairy" who relied on her protection. He was as gentle as jade and smiled like the spring breeze. However, a border war revealed another side of him: he was not only her childhood sweetheart, but also the most silent guardian behind her.
Act One, Dilemma. Storms are coming in the Xuanling Kingdom, the world is in turmoil, and there are undercurrents of internal strife in the court. Ling Yueyao supported the national destiny alone, while Yun Yichen used medical skills in the dark to resolve crisis after crisis. Although Murong Feng was loyal, he mistakenly thought that Yun Yichen was just an idle cloud Yehe who was attached to the empress; Hua Lingxuan came with all the grudges in the world and tested her step by step.
Act Two, the turning point. Yun Yichen rescued Murong Feng on the battlefield, and a dose of elixir awakened the general who was on the front line of life and death; he also used his skillful hands to unblock the strange poison in Hua Lingxuan's body, in exchange for trust and cooperation. The once soft-boiled man has now become a key figure influencing the situation.
Act three, the price. As the truth emerged, Ling Yueyao had to make a choice between state affairs and emotions, and Yun Yichen finally stood at the crossroads of fate and faced his confession after years of forbearance.
When power and tenderness meet, when responsibility and love confront each other, how should humans choose?
