In the tenth year of Jinghe, the Rongdi nomadic tribe in the northern border of Daliang invaded again. Ye Shu, the commander-in-chief of the Fushuo Army in the northern border, died in a battle with Rong Di. The cause of death is unknown, and Daliang suffered heavy losses in this battle. The Ye clan guarded the northern border for many years, and many clan members perished in this battle. In addition to the commander, the famous right forward general Ye Jianzhong also died young. However, the enemy Rongdi clan, which was at an advantage, suddenly retreated and took the initiative to seek peace. The Emperor of Liang was overjoyed and rewarded the three armies. He made Ye Jianhan, Ye Jianhan's eldest son, a marquis and continued to guard the northern border. Ye Jianshuang, Ye Jianshuang's second daughter, was married to Xiao Yi, the eldest son of the former Queen Dunren. Xiao Yi, who was the King of Xiangyang at the time, was the favorite candidate for the crown prince among many civil servants, but he loved literature and calligraphy and was more interested in reading and writing than in writing official documents. When he was still young, he was ordered by Emperor Liang to take charge of the Wenyuan Pavilion and take charge of the compilation of poetry and books.
Since the northern border town is thousands of miles away from the capital, Ye and Xiao don't know each other and only know each other based on rumors. However, the rumors are false and true, which makes the two have a lot of suspicion when they first meet. As they got along, the two discovered that the rumors were untrue and fell in love with each other. When Ye Jianshuang was preparing to get married in the capital, she reunited with Rong Er, a disciple of her mother Bai Zhishao, and met Guo Man (also known as Jianjian) in white who admired Xiao Yi's talents. Later, Ye and Xiao got married smoothly. At this time, the prince had been established and "Poetry Style" had been written. Ye and Xiao followed Emperor Liang's orders and visited the people. Xiao Yao, the youngest prince of the late emperor, was also allowed to travel with them for training. Together with Rong Er and Guo Man, the five of them traveled to the mountains and rivers.
