The cuckoo weeps blood, and the old dream returns. Wu Feng's remnants stirred up trouble again, and Shangguan Qian, who was pregnant with Liujia, reunited with Gong Shangjiao at the old site of Gushan - the cold and stern young man who had been taken advantage of by her but who always protected Dujuan of the corner palace for her. The deception and escape back then, and the care and redemption now, brought the two people closer to each other amidst the blood feud and crisis in the world.
The secret passage in Gushan hides a century-old origin, and the endless fire affects the lifeblood of the world. The disappeared old friend turns into the mastermind behind the scenes, and the lurking murderous intention is approaching step by step. Gong Shangjiao uses his life as a shield to protect her and the flesh and blood in her belly; Shangguan Qian carries the Gushan jade pendant and uses her wisdom to break the situation, vowing to avenge her tribe and relieve her lover's worries. Gong Yuanzheng's awkward guardianship and Gong Ziyu's frank support added a touch of warmth to this dispute in the world.
From the first blooming of the cuckoos in the Corner Palace to the re-establishment of the alliance in Gushan, from the turmoil during pregnancy to the arrival of new life, they experienced betrayal and misunderstanding, life and death, and tests, and finally confirmed their hearts in the shadow of the sword, and stayed together in peace and tranquility for a lifetime. This is not only an affectionate love song that transcends grievances, but also a swan song about protection, responsibility and redemption - when the cold edge of the sword meets the fiery sincerity, when the ruined past collides with the new hope, all the undercurrents will eventually turn into the tranquility of the years when the azaleas bloom.
