Xiao Jing, the general of the country, spent half his life on the battlefield, but was granted a marriage by an imperial edict and married Shen Zhiyi, the daughter of the official minister, whom he had never met. He despised this marriage and regarded her as a pawn in the court; she was gentle but strong-willed, and used her wisdom to resolve the undercurrents in the house, and planned for him in the war of troubled times. From respecting each other like "ice" to walking side by side, there is a growing affection hidden in the light of the sword. The righteousness of the family and the country are intertwined with the love of the children. This couple who married first and fell in love finally understood the mountains, rivers and sincerity in each other's eyes in the wind and rain.
The years after Xiao Jing and Shen Zhiyi's marriage included the warmth of their children, but also hidden undercurrents of turmoil. Although the border was settled, the Helian family's ambitions remained. Floods in the south of the Yangtze River affected the court, and the remnant forces of Li Shangshu's case were quietly raising their heads through the turmoil caused by the new emperor's accession to the throne. Xiao Jing's wish to shed his armor and return to the countryside has not yet been fully realized, but strange illnesses appear one after another in Shen Zhiyi's medical clinic, which involves a conspiracy related to people's livelihood. The couple joined hands again, using their family as their shield and their country as their armor, to protect the peace they had spent half their lives in exchange for in court games and rivers and lakes disputes. The moonlight of Chang'an and the spring water of Jiangnan reflect their perseverance from the battlefield to the market - it turns out that the sharpest sword is the tenderness hidden in the heart; the toughest shield is the ordinary daily necessities of life.
