Twelve years ago, the seventh prince Xiao Yi fell off a cliff and faked his death during a palace incident. Twelve years later, he returned with a weathered look - not to seize the legitimate heir, but to bring back his mother who had been imprisoned for twelve years from the cold palace, and to clear the name of the loyal Su family.
The woman beside him is Su Qingyuan, the orphan of the general, who has never left her body for ten years, killing people for him, and his enemy is Liu Ruyan, the powerful concubine - she was the one who caused the plague and the palace fire. What she wants is not to fight for favor, but to change the dynasty.
From the capital court to the northwest desert, from the hidden compartments of Yunyan Palace to the windy sand of Bailu City, this is a revenge that has been dormant for twelve years, and it is also a story of a group of broken people trying to keep each other warm in troubled times. When everything was settled and he stood at the pinnacle of power and looked back, what he wanted to do most was to walk through the most ordinary street in the capital every day after going to court, open a preserve shop called "Su Ji", and eat a candied plum pickled with Elaeagnus nectar.
Whether it's sour or sweet. Those who have eaten acid with him are the ones who will last a lifetime.
