At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, when the mountains and rivers were shattered, the nobles migrated south, and amidst the chaos of war, Yu Daosheng, a beautiful and capable but selfish and vain man, only wanted to preserve his dignity and seek stability and prosperity in the exile. He was never willing to expend effort on the interests of his family and country, and would even weigh the pros and cons for his own selfish desires.
Wang Tizhi (also known as Pingzhou), who cherished his family and country and was determined to conquer the Central Plains through the Northern Expedition, was full of sincerity and lofty ambitions, but he had an extremely bad character, being irritable, self-willed and mean-spirited.
He scorned Yu Daosheng's selfishness and vanity, but unexpectedly got entangled with her in the ups and downs of troubled times. The two had completely different personalities and pursuits.
Pulling each other, falling in love and killing each other on the thorny and bumpy road, they can neither tolerate each other's shortcomings, but also find it difficult to separate under the influence of troubled times.
