During the Zhaoshuo period, the Yangui River divided the north and the south. Zhao Lingxi, the seventh princess of Southern Zhao, and Xiao Jue, the eighth prince of Beishuo, were childhood sweethearts who exchanged silver hairpins under the plum trees and promised to "protect the two countries from war together."
A dispute over the origin of green salt, and the illusion of war faked by powerful officials, crushed the covenant of fathers to pieces.
On the day the engagement was annulled, the wind and snow in front of the palace gate were like knives. He said, "It's hard to have both ends." She broke half a silver hairpin, and from then on she used her medical skills as her armor, declaring that she would "never marry in this life, and serve the country with medicine."
Three years later, the epidemic spread in Nanzhao, and she was forced to go to the border with a medical team; the veteran Beishuo took power, and he secretly investigated the truth.
The reunion on the banks of the Yangui River was an indifferent confrontation between the enemy general and the princess of the homeland, as well as the secret concerns hidden in the "Snow Ginseng Pills" and "Plum Blossom Sachet".
When the forged account books were uncovered and half of the silver hairpin under the plum tree was revealed, they realized that the "closed hearts and no love" in those years was just the deep love that they carefully guarded each other under the righteousness of their family and country.
This is a love story that began with childhood sweethearts and was trapped between two countries. It is also a story of a pair of lovers picking up their broken hair and protecting the mountains and rivers together amidst intrigues and wars. It turns out that true love is never the smooth flow of "two lovers being happy", but knowing that "home and country are separated", they are still willing to go through the wind and snow for each other and resolve all misunderstandings and obstacles.
