The candlelight at the Xie Mansion banquet reflected the cups, and the moment Xie Siyue and Jiang Yuan's eyes collided, they were deeply in love; and when she turned around and chatted with Shen Zhi, and nodded with Lin Yanqiu, they also quietly woven the warmest bond in the years to come - this encounter was not only the beginning of the fateful entanglement, but also the starting point of the deep friendship between the three.
With the enthusiasm of women to study and achieve their goals, Xie Siyue founded a women's school against all opinions. Shen Zhi always stood by her side, raising supplies for her, appeasing the female relatives of the school, and hiding "I will accompany you in whatever you want to do" in every book. Once side by side; Lin Yanqiu used resourcefulness as a shield to defend her when she was criticized by rumors, and secretly gave advice when the court forces were spying on her, so that the ideal of "women's academic ambition" could be temporarily sheltered from the storm with the support of the two. But when the shadow of the palace wall spreads, the pressure from the imperial power and the undercurrent of power struggle gradually loom. Not only is Xie Siyue's career in jeopardy, but her relationship with Jiang Yuanyin is tinged with sadness. Even Shen Zhi and Lin Yanqiu are forced to make a dilemma in order to protect her.
On the night when the imperial poisonous wine was placed in front of the case, Xie Siyue looked at the red eyes of Shen Zhi who came over, took the last protective jade pendant from Lin Yanqiu, and finally drank the poison. When Jiang Yuan opened the door, he only saw her hands hanging down and the uncontrollable crying of her close friends - "Yue Yuan"'s dream was shattered, and the friendship between the three of them also parted with life and death, becoming the most painful concern in his heart.
Many years later, the Siyue Tower was erected. Jiang Yuanyin, with gray temples, stood in front of the building. Shen Zhi walked past with the students of the female school, and Lin Yanqiu came slowly holding the school rules written by Xie Siyue. The wind picked up the white hair and clothes of the three people. Those who shared their ideals, shared the wind and rain, and said goodbye...
