Shen Yanqing, a female academy teacher who was once expelled from the aristocratic family for "women without talent", lives in seclusion in a border town, teaching and educating people. Her new neighbor is Wei Zheng, a retired general who was traumatized by the war and hated weapons.
Separated by a wall, two different kinds of loneliness. She used poetry as medicine, taught him the art of pen and ink, and soothed the sound of fighting in his nightmares; he took protection as a promise, and used clever strategies for her to regain the dignity and status of the family that had been deprived of her.
Two souls who have shed the shackles of the past resonate deeply in the second half of life. They jointly founded the "Zhixing Women's School". He integrated the tenacity of "martial arts" into physical training, and she imparted the wisdom of "wen" to each other.
