Lin Wanzhao, the proprietress of "Fuxing Rice Store" in the old alley of Nancheng, keeps the rice store alone after her husband died young and makes a living by selling rice and handmade osmanthus cakes. Three years ago, she fell in love with soldier Shen Zhao. Before joining the war, Shen Zhao promised to "marry you when I come back," but was rumored to have been killed in action. Until one day, Shen Zhao, who had lost his memory, walked into Mihang and ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Lin Wanzhao, which evoked a sense of familiarity. Lin Wanzhao protects Shen Zhao from recovering his memory while dealing with the threat of his brother-in-law Lin Fu who wants to annex Mihang. When Shen Zhao finally remembered everything, Lin Wanzhao was injured while protecting Mi Xing, and eventually died with regrets of the unfinished wedding. Shen Zhao could only hold her body and spend the rest of his life guarding Mi Xing.
