Ye Qingwan was the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion. She was born gentle and smart. She had been childhood sweethearts with Pei Mingyu, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo. At the age of 18, an imperial edict granted her marriage to the frail and sick prince Xiao Jingheng. On the day of farewell, Pei Mingyu broke willows and gave them to each other in the pavilion, and the deep affection in his eyes turned into "Wait for me".
After marrying into the East Palace, Ye Qingwan devoted herself to taking care of Xiao Jingheng, and used her fragile body to protect the prince's safety amidst the tumultuous battles in the palace. And Pei Mingyu went out in armor and made great achievements, just to return as soon as possible to fulfill his promise. However, things in the world are unpredictable and the war on the border is tense. Xiao Jingheng insists on taking charge of the expedition himself, but Ye Qingwan is worried and insists on accompanying him.
On the battlefield, the enemy set up an ambush. At the critical moment, Pei Mingyu arrived with reinforcements. In the melee, Xiao Jingheng was hit by several arrows while trying to save Ye Qingwan; Pei Mingyu tried his best to protect her, but he was seriously injured. Seeing the two people who loved her deeply lying in a pool of blood, Ye Qingwan burst into tears. In the end, Xiao Jingheng died of his injuries, and Pei Mingyu slowly closed his eyes in Ye Qingwan's arms due to serious injuries.
Inside and outside the palace walls, life seems like a dream. The once vowed alliance cannot withstand the twists and turns of fate. Ye Qingwan looked at the flying snow in the sky, and her longing for him turned into a long sigh. From then on, the ancient Buddha of the Green Lantern stayed alone for the rest of his life.
