In order to overturn the family's case, Shen Qingci, the daughter of the guilty minister, met Prince Jing Xiao Jue, who had a large number of soldiers. From the initial testing and use of each other, the two gradually developed true feelings in life and death crises one after another. Shen Qingci was repeatedly framed by Prime Minister Gu Yan. She was imprisoned in Dali Temple but always insisted on her innocence. Xiao Jue did not hesitate to confront the court to protect her. After Gu Yanzhi's rebellion was exposed and executed, the mastermind behind the scenes, Concubine Shu, emerged. She was not only the real culprit who killed Xiao Jue's biological mother, Concubine Yue, but also the culprit who caused the destruction of the Shen family.
The two worked together to pursue the truth. After going through many hardships such as searching for evidence in the south of the Yangtze River, bitter battles at the border, and asking for help in the Western Regions, they smashed the many conspiracies of Concubine Shu and her remaining forces, and exposed her ambition to collude with her relatives and usurp the throne. During this period, they encountered multiple tests such as a crisis of trust, court games, and invasion from foreign tribes. Shen Qingci even almost died trying to protect the unborn child. In the end, with the support of loyal generals and the people, Concubine Shu and her gang were completely eliminated, and the government was restored to purity.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, Xiao Jue retired and lived in seclusion in Jingzhou with Shen Qingci and their children. After going through swordsmanship and imperial power disputes, the tormented lovers finally relieved themselves of their burdens and lived a peaceful life among the green mountains and green waters, fulfilling their vow of "a broad bond of life and death, never leave".
