The Murong family of Gusu is a century-old house, and its son and daughter are famous throughout Jiangnan.
The eldest son, Murong Zhi, is gentle as jade but shrewd. He oversees the family’s business empire, only to cross paths with Zhuang Tianshu, head of the Zhuang family. Decisive and formidable, she swears to take on the Murongs in the business world. Matched as equals, they fall in love over time, and for the first time he wants to make an opponent his own.
The younger daughter, Murong Yu, is bold and dazzling, preferring armor to finery. She falls for Shen Mingchen, the man behind the Lin family’s embroidery shop, at first sight. He seems refined and gentle, but in truth he is a master strategist who can turn the business world upside down. Only in her presence does he rein in his edge and willingly bow his head.
One sibling finds a kindred spirit in a business war; the other finds a beloved amid flashing blades. When old grievances come to light and the Murong family is buffeted by turmoil, they finally realize that their true loves have been by their side all along.
