There is no time travel, no golden fingers, running in both directions.
Ye Linglong, the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, has been disguised as a man and wandered around the streets of the capital since she was a child. She only wants to be a free and unrestrained person, but as the prince's fiancée, her fate has already been sealed.
In an incident, the prince was framed for rebellion, the Ye family was implicated, and the whole family was exiled. The queen's aunt committed suicide by drinking a dove to save the family's life. The prince set fire to the palace and then disappeared. The young princess was also sent to Mobei to get married. She was the only one left in the clan who escaped and was hunted down by the secret guards.
On the way to escape, she met Shen Sheng, who was pretending to be a martyr, and the two went south together. On the way, she heard that the princess was going to Mobei to get married. Ye Linglong decided to change her route and go to the north to save the princess. She wanted to clear the Ye family's innocence and find the missing prince.
Along the way, Ye Linglong and Shen Sheng shared life and death, and gradually fell in love. When they arrived in the north, they unexpectedly reunited with the long-lost prince. It turned out that the prince had fled all the way to the north to develop his power, just to one day regain everything he owned and avenge his mother.
Ye Linglong contacted her father's old subordinates to help the prince seize power. After everything was settled, the prince fulfilled his promise to marry Ye Linglong as his wife and make her his queen. However, Ye Linglong refused. What she wanted was never the dignity in the palace walls. She chose to wander the world with Shen Sheng and live a free and easy life. On her wedding day, the prince personally sent her off to get married. From then on, the throne was vacant and she never established a queen in her life.
