A vow beneath the plum blossoms in the snow could not withstand a sudden imperial decree.
Ye Hui and Su Jun'an grew up together and secretly pledged themselves to each other, but on her coming-of-age day, she was betrothed to the Crown Prince. From then on, the palace walls confined her beauty.
Crown Prince Gao Qian had loved Ye Hui for years and offered her an empire as his bride price, yet he could never find his way into the plum garden in her heart.
Beneath the palace’s glittering surface, undercurrents surged: the Empress Dowager applied pressure, the concubines schemed, and the court gossiped…
When conspiracies and hidden attacks close in, and she cannot preserve both her honor and her true love, how will Ye Hui protect the one she loves in this treacherous palace?
And the young general who once promised to grow old with her can now only kneel before her and address her as “Your Highness, Crown Princess.”
