Su Nian, carrying the memories of his past life, traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an just to protect his daughter Yun Zhi, who sadly passed away in her previous life. From the south of the Yangtze River to Chang'an, she accompanied her silently as a maid, using the familiar osmanthus and lotus root to awaken the bond between mother and daughter, and stood up for her daughter again and again in the light of swords. Even if fate is bumpy and hatred is entangled, maternal love is always the toughest armor. In the end, they worked together to resolve the crisis, stay away from the disputes in the court, and regain peace in Jiangnan. Yun Zhi got her wish, avenged her grievances, and stayed with her true love. Su Nian finally made up for the shortcomings of her previous life, and witnessed her daughter grow old happily.
