When a new dynasty's ruler, burdened by a blood feud, meets a forlorn consort of the fallen dynasty, marked by the old regime, the love born amid chaos is doomed from the start to walk a blade's edge against convention.
The surrounding nations watch hungrily, and war rages year after year. Amid the flash of blades and clashing swords, would you dare leave your cage for me?
On Mount Niantai in winter, snow blankets the stone steps, while red fruit fills the garden like flames, reflecting the figures of two people walking hand in hand.
Yet this love, entwined with hatred and divided by their identities, must go against the gaze of the world. Can they overcome every obstacle and bring this ill-fated romance, born in troubled times, to a happy ending?
Prologue: The Male Lead's Perspective
Clouds and mist coil around the mountains. I face the world alone, cutting through its bustle and turmoil. Though fierce winds and driving rain block my path, I remain fearless, unafraid and unharmed. In these troubled times, love is hard to sever. Though there are beauties aplenty, fate has dealt its hand carelessly. On Mount Niantai, a sudden wind begins to swirl. At the thought of snow, the former dynasty falls. I look out upon the world: curses and longing, tenderness and yearning. Only you can ease the sorrow that haunts me.
