One-on-one romance, both leads are each other’s first: a proud young master from a warlord family versus a beautiful subordinate returning from overseas
After returning from abroad, He Xiangli conceals a blood feud: her entire family was wiped out. From the start, this strong yet tragic heroine sets her sights on her enemy’s son, the young marshal Gu Junlan. With her superior intelligence, He Xiangli secures a position as his adviser and takes charge of his daily life, effortlessly making him depend on her.
Unexpectedly, Gu’s father falls for her at first sight and offers her a ring on the spot, turning things between father and son into an instant battlefield. Overwhelmed with jealousy, Gu Junlan publicly declares, “She’s mine,” but his possessiveness leads him to make a terrible mistake, and the two men become irreconcilable. No one knows that all of this is part of He Xiangli’s revenge. She stirs up trouble between them, tearing the Gu family’s bonds apart with her own hands.
After avenging her family, she chooses to leave because she has fallen for the innocent Gu Junlan. They become the one regret neither can let go of. Five years later, amid the flames of the War of Resistance, Gu Junlan, gravely wounded, reunites with her, now working as a relief worker. Their long-awaited reunion after heartbreak is enough to break anyone’s defenses.
Having put their past behind them, the two stop dwelling on romance and join forces to face the nation’s peril. Amid the tides of history, they carry on their fathers’ unfinished vows to serve their country, turning their heart-wrenching struggles into a passionate legend.
