Lin Wantang was a concubine in the Prime Minister's Palace. She was born gentle and graceful, and she often played the piano and painted in the courtyard. That day at the Lantern Festival, the embroidered handkerchief she accidentally left behind was picked up by a passing boy. When she raised her head, she looked into Pei Yunzhou's dark jade-like eyes. The young man was dressed in a moon-white gown, with a jade pendant dangling from his waist. He just said "Girl, be careful", which planted lovesickness in her heart. From then on, Lin Wantang always looked for that figure at poetry gatherings and flower banquets, hiding his thoughts in poems and embroidering them into sachets.
Pei Yunzhou is the legitimate son of the General's Mansion. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, but he only loves to stop and listen to Lin Wantang's piano. He secretly collected her poems scattered everywhere, and when she was being made things difficult for her by her eldest sister, he pretended to be passing by to rescue her. He watched her hairpins fluttering with butterflies in the spring, and saw her serving porridge to the refugees in the rain. The more he got to know her, the more his heart moved. However, the rules of the family and the burden of the family made him bury his feelings deep in his heart.
There was a war at the border, and Pei Yunzhou was ordered to go on an expedition. Lin Wantang prayed in the Buddhist hall every day and embroidered peace charms until his fingertips bled. When Pei Yunzhou returned triumphantly and walked to the Prime Minister's Mansion with military achievements and full determination, he realized that Lin Wantang had already rejected all marriage proposals and was looking through the autumn water in the pavilion. It turns out that those obscure eye contact and clumsy secret guarding are all evidence of two-way running. In the misty years, love has quietly grown.
