Sixteen-year-old Mo Hengshu received military orders on his wedding night, and the Jin soldiers crossed the river and set off immediately. He didn't have time to lift the bride's hijab and only put a hosta into her hand: "Wait until I come back."
Seventeen-year-old Shen Yueming clutched the hairpin, but what was waiting for him was the rumor that he had "a close relationship with the daughter of a certain general." She burned all the letters he sent home, sold her dowry, and set up a girls' school in the west of Lin'an City to recruit girls to study and understand.
She didn't know that those letters contained plum blossoms planted by her hands; that "general's daughter"...
Over the next ten years or so, they passed each other countless times.
He won the battle in Huaixi and sent people south to deliver messages, but the messengers were killed by bandits. She hid in the mountains with her students, but he disobeyed military orders and came to look for her. He only found the hosta in the burned courtyard. Thinking that she was dead, he knelt in the ruins and cried like a child.
She heard that a general named Mo was dismissed from his post for disobeying military orders. She was stunned and the book fell to the ground - she missed it again.
