Su Wanyi, the orphan of the Jiangnan Xiang family, entered the Jingbei Hou Mansion anonymously in order to investigate the unjust case of his family being raped and executed. The cold plum fragrance on her fingertips unexpectedly brought out the old emotions in the heart of Xiao Jue, the owner of the Hou Mansion - the fragrance was very similar to the smell of his sister who died young.
Xiao Jue, the young God of War, holds a heavy weapon but has a barrier in his heart. The broken knuckles of his left hand hide the old wounds of protons. To Su Wanyi, he is the observer who doubts her identity, and he is also the one who is distracted by her plum fragrance. His father was the chief officer who supervised the Su family case back then. The family blood feud and the occasional softness in his eyes made Su Wanyi torn between hatred and resentment.
The plum blossoms on the incense case are still dry, and the old case files hide secrets. In the deep courtyard of the Hou Mansion, she is an orphan seeking revenge, and he is a general who is haunted by the past. When the hand of the "enemy's" son was stung by the ointment she mixed, and when her identity was teetering on the edge of temptation, the bitter plum fragrance finally became a yoke that entangled the two of them - was the blood debt to be paid, or was the heart moved first?
