On a snowy night, Liu Lingyue, the female teahouse shopkeeper, rescued Song Siqing, a scholar from a poor family who was frozen. No one knows that she is the mysterious "Jiang Yanfei" in the literary world. Until the night of Lantern Festival in the Lantern Festival, Liang Chao'an, the number one dandy in the capital, shook his fan and smiled softly: "Liu Ruyan on the river... Shopkeeper Liu, isn't the answer to this riddle yours?" A paper lantern riddle, three masks were loosened at the same time.
Thunder exploded at the Qionglin Banquet. Song Siqing, a newly admitted scholar, was publicly recognized by the old prince and was forced to change his name to Zhao Huaizhen. He was reduced from a proud son of a poor family to a pawn in a power struggle. Soon, the Liang family was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy. The eldest son, Liang Chaoan, said goodbye at night and was demoted to Lingzhou. The three stars split up at this point - he was training troops in Bianzhou to gain momentum, she was weaving a network in the capital with teahouses as her spy, and he was torn between his biological father and his conscience day and night.
Night detectives in Shuozhou, the secret exchange of evidence, and the sound of drums and thunder... When the drums resounded through the hall, the ironclad evidence was clear, and seven years of injustice finally came to light. After the dust settled, Liang Chaoan and Liu Lingyue hid in the mountains to run a school and spread the word; Zhao Huaizhen went to Jiangnan alone to atone for his sins by working hard for the rest of his life.
Ten years later, the lights of the academy illuminated the returning figure. The mountains and rivers were once broken, but they eventually pieced together a peaceful shape on the path chosen by everyone.
