The Huo family is deep in the house and the desire for power surges. In order to hold on to the power of the family, Huo Zhenxiong calls the orphaned girl Ayi and treats her like a chess piece and trains her harshly, just to check and balance his biological son Huo Chenyuan. Ah Yi was treated coldly in the Huo family. Only the young Huo Chenyuan gave her a moment of warmth, but it ended due to Huo Zhenxiong's deliberate guidance and the depression of her mother Su Zhiyu. This warmth was eventually buried by hatred, and Ah Yi was sent abroad to deal with Huo Zhenxiong's scandal.
Eight years later, Ah Yi named herself Huo Qingyi and returned to China as the legitimate daughter of the Huo family. She became Huo Zhenxiong's whetstone to check and balance Huo Chenyuan. At this time, Huo Chenyuan was already the cold-hearted young master of the Huo family, bent on destroying the Huo family, making Huo Zhenxiong feel full of regret, and full of hostility towards the returning Huo Qingyi. On the surface, the two were tit-for-tat, fighting step by step, but Huo Qingyi secretly avoided traps for Huo Chenyuan. Huo Chenyuan was also testing, and saw that she was not willing to be a pawn, and even remembered the little girl named Ayi.
The past misunderstandings were uncovered layer by layer, and both of them realized that Huo Zhenxiong was the source of all tragedies. They changed from imaginary enemies to partners and joined forces to clean up the internal troubles in the Huo family, bring down Huo Zhenxiong, and dismantle the dark forces he had established. Huo Qingyi went from being an unknown orphan living in the care of others to living a life of her own; Huo Chenyuan also went from being a hate-ridden bigot to being redeemed by Qingyi's gentleness and tenacity and letting go of his obsession.
They guarded each other in the turbulent situation of the Huo family, developed deep love in the light of swords, and finally worked together to cleanse the Huo family and bring new life to this deep house that was mired in the quagmire. And the bond from A Yi to Qing Yi, from strangers to staying together, became the warmest light in the dark night, radiating tenderness for the rest of their lives.
