At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world fell apart. After Dong Zhuo's chaos, the land of the Central Plains was already full of wars and bones. Su Qingci, a counselor from a poor family, studied military strategy with his reclusive mentor since childhood. Due to an accident, he got involved in a dispute between princes. He relied on his extraordinary resourcefulness to help the down-and-out Cao Cao stabilize the foundation of Yanzhou. However, because of his status as a "female counselor", he has always been difficult to be accepted by the world.
At that time, there was a strange woman Lin Zhuyue under Ma Chao's command in Xiliang. She was born in a mixed Qiang-Han family. She was good at riding and shooting since she was a child, and she was fluent in foreign languages. She also hid a secret related to the bloodline of the Han Dynasty. On the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Su Qingci was sent as envoy to Xiliang in order to persuade Ma Chao to unite against Yuan, but unexpectedly met Lin Zhuyue. One is a counselor who cares about the world but is trapped by his identity, and the other is a female general who is burdened with secrets but eager to protect her people. The two confront each other because of their contradictory positions, but they are attracted to each other's talents and original intentions in repeated confrontations.
When the conflict between Cao Cao and Ma Chao intensified and the Battle of Tongguan broke out, Su Qingci and Lin Zhuyue were forced to stand on opposite sides. The lights of Tongque Terrace reflect the desire for power, and the wind and sand in Xiliang carry the responsibility of their family and country. They must stick to their true intentions in troubled times, but also face the tricks of fate - should they choose to assist the Ming Dynasty to achieve hegemony, or to protect the morality and emotions in their hearts? On the night when the stars fell, the bells of the Tongque Tower rang, and a legend that transcended status was slowly unfolding in the war of the Three Kingdoms.
