During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, the peach blossoms were blooming in the south of the Yangtze River in March. Tang Bohu, the leader of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, was living a leisurely life in Taohuawu accompanied by poetry and wine. However, because his friend Zhu Zhishan mentioned the marriage proposal in Washington, Suzhou, he became curious about the mysterious daughter of Washington, Hua Qiuxiang, and went to join in the fun.
At the wedding scene in Washington, talented young men flocked to her. When Tang Bohu first met Qiuxiang, he was attracted by her smart and gentle appearance. During the literary test, he showed off his talent by writing poems casually. Outside the martial arts test, he taught a bully slave with his bare hands. Unexpectedly, he won the favor of Qiu Xiang and was invited by Hua Hongshan, the master of the Washington Palace, to join the marriage recruitment process.
However, Washington seems glamorous, but it hides unknown secrets - dark shadows wandering late at night, secret transactions between maids and mysterious people, and suspicions of theft from warehouses outside the city, gradually involving Tang Bohu. On the one hand, he is in love with Qiuxiang, and on the other hand, he is exploring the secrets of Washington. With his talent as his blade and his courage as his shield, Tang Bohu writes a love story that is both romantic and suspenseful in the tenderness and turmoil of the misty Jiangnan.
