She originally wanted to live a stable life, but she fell in love at first sight with the cold and upright warlord Lu Yuanzhou at a banquet. However, Lu Yuanzhou avoided her because of family grudges, but Shen Qingyao pressed on her step by step, impressing him with modern thinking and sincerity. The two joined hands in troubled times, from misunderstanding to acquaintance, from family feud to national disaster, and finally broke through the shackles, composing a love that spans time and space.
