In the quiet depths of the mountain forest, the young girl Ye Qinglan writes and paints, full of smiles, like an elf untainted by the world. She was raised by the mysterious swordsman Shen Mohan since she was a child. She practiced martial arts, painted, watched the clouds and listened to the wind, and lived a carefree life. However, every night in the dead of night, she would always be awakened by a fragmented nightmare - screams, blood, and the fear of hiding in the closet, as if summoning her forgotten past.
When Shen Mohan announced that she had completed her studies and could enter the world of mortals, Ye Qinglan walked into the bustling world full of longing. She mistakenly entered the court selection and amazed everyone with her talent; she aroused the love of the prince Xiao Yuchen, but also attracted the jealousy and plotting of her childhood sweetheart Su Wanrou; she learned that her twin brother was still alive, but she was killed.
As the word "Ye Family" appears on a broken picture scroll, the dust-laden truth begins to crack. She was not an orphan in the mountains, but the only survivor of a prominent family that was wiped out fifteen years ago. The man behind the scenes turned out to be the powerful Gu Chengan, and even implicated the emperor... When her faith collapsed, she fell into despair, but with the help of her master's protection, her lover's support and the chivalry of the world, she rekindled her fighting spirit.
From an innocent girl to an avenger carrying a blood feud, from a forest painting to a court situation, Ye Qinglan walks step by step between love and hate, love and justice. When the truth is revealed, how will she choose? Should he stay at the top of power, or should he return to the dream of high mountains and long rivers?
