The modern soul Bai Xi, when she opened her eyes, turned out to be Lin Qingliu, the daughter of a salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. She was given to Cui Huaizhao, the chief minister of the dynasty, as a gift to cling to the powerful by her biological father. In order to survive in the deep house, she hid her edge, pretended to be weak, and used tears and scheming to get closer to the iceberg step by step. As for Cui Huaizhao, who has great power but has been lonely for half his life, he only regarded her as a chess piece at first, but through repeated trials and confrontations, he fell into those eyes that seemed to be filled with tears but were actually sober.
When she blocked the blade for him, when he waited for her all night, the deep love arose without knowing it. But Bai Xi always remembers: this is not her time, let alone her prison. So she faked her death and escaped, taking her son away, leaving him almost crazy looking at the empty coffin.
Four years later, in front of the embroidery shop in Shu, he came here covered in travel, but she closed the door and disappeared. The former powerful minister put aside all his pride and whispered in the rain: "This time, it's up to you to decide whether to stay or go."
From presenting a daughter in the south of the Yangtze River to reuniting in Shu, from working together step by step to redeeming each other. This is a collision between ancient machinations and modern souls, as well as a long game about love and freedom. If we are destined to fall in love, can we stay together in another way?
