The cold, ruthless young marshal Du Ting × Zhan Yunxi, the last young nobleman of a declining aristocratic house. Sweet romance, mutual salvation, a love that goes both ways, Republican-era setting, happy ending.
Three years ago, General Du, who had risen from humble beginnings, took a fancy to the young lady of the Zhan household and sought to join their families through marriage. He brought his wife and only son, Du Ting, to the Prince Zhan's birthday banquet to discuss the match. But a misunderstanding turned the young lady into a young nobleman. Sharp-tongued Zhan Yunxi gave the Du family a tongue-lashing on the spot, and the two families became enemies.
Three years later, the household had fallen into ruin. Prince Zhan was addicted to gambling, his wife had died of grief, and young nobleman Zhan Yunxi was sold off to pay his debts. On the day of the sale, Du Ting happened to return to the capital after graduating from military academy and rescued Zhan Yunxi just before he fell into a tiger's jaws.
Forced to swallow his pride and take shelter with the Du family just to survive, Zhan Yunxi moved in. Du Ting concealed the fact that he had fallen for him at first sight. As the two bickered, their feelings grew warmer by the day, but so did the obstacles between them.
Then a new warlord took office, and vengeance over an old case plunged the Du family into crisis. Facing danger together, the two joined forces against their enemies. In an age of upheaval, through pain and separation, they came to understand their feelings for each other and ultimately became a brave, steadfast couple.
