In the late spring of Dajing, two secrets are hidden in the western courtyard of the Duke Protector's Mansion, where begonias are flying everywhere - Lin Zhixia, the legitimate daughter of the Protector, and Lin Xue'er, who is called the "orphan of a distant cousin" and is actually the orphan of the late crown prince. She originally wanted to guard the small courtyard to protect Xueer from growing up safely and away from the chaos in the court, but when she turned the corner of the corridor, she accidentally ran into the arms of the powerful regent Gu Yanci.
The hem of the black clothes swept across the blue bricks, and the thin calluses of his fingertips touched the crook of his arms. The plain silver longevity lock and the bright yellow safety charm he handed over became the beginning of the entanglement between their fates. He was a cold and ruthless regent who pushed hard for the New Deal, but in her eyes when she was protecting her baby, he saw the softness she had not seen for a long time; she was a princess who abided by boundaries and was vigilant, but his defenses were gradually broken by his actions of protecting the people against public opinions and secretly clearing obstacles for her.
The ambiguous temptation of the royal hunt, the overt and covert tactics of the court, and the road to redress the injustice of the former prince's unjust case, tied the two people tightly together. When the identity gap encounters the trust of life and death, when the hidden secrets encounter the surging ambitions, can they protect each other and the baby in their arms in the turbulent court situation, and let the heartbeat that started when the begonias were flying finally become the perfection of joining hands for the rest of their lives?
The snow in Nuandong Garden fell and melted, and the pink lanterns on the corridor reflected the gentleness of her lowered eyes, and also reflected the softness hidden in his cold eyes. A jade lock once led to the first meeting, but the subsequent turmoil in the court and the fetters of the family made the two people gradually carve each other's names into their hearts as they tried and got closer.
When the fog of conspiracy shrouds the capital, and when the identity gap looms before our eyes, can he protect her, and will she dare to break through the obstacles?
