In Chang'an City, the Shen family and the Lin family have been friends for generations. Shen Zhiyan and Lin Weiwan, who have been married since childhood, are the most matched couple in the eyes of their neighbors. Flying kites together in the spring, reading books together on the winter nights, the youthful spirit and the girl's innocence intertwined, becoming the warmest light in each other's memories.
But when she was thirteen years old, the Lin family was suddenly framed, and her family was destroyed overnight. Lin Weiwan fled in a hurry, protected by her loyal servants, and was never heard from again. Shen Zhiyan guarded the empty city of Chang'an and grew up from a young boy to a calm official. He traveled all over the mountains and rivers in ten years and never gave up searching.
He thought that the reunion was the prologue to a happy ending, but he didn't know that the family changes back then hid a deeper conspiracy. And when she returned, she was no longer the little girl who only chased him. The gap in identity, the scars of the past, and the obstacles of reality caused the long-lost childhood sweethearts to approach and push away again and again after they reunited. But the bond buried deep in their hearts since childhood finally withstood the wind and sand of the years, supporting them to push through the fog and hold each other's hands in the wind and rain. From the first time they met in Chang'an, to the rivers and lakes protecting each other, and then to the court side by side, they finally fulfilled the promise they made when they were young to "be a pair for life."
