King Jing Chu Yanyuan and Wen Zhi, the legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family, met in the Qiuye Palace at the beginning of the month. They fell in love at first sight. The young prince gave her all his love and made a promise under the moon that he would be the only one to be his favorite for the rest of his life. Wen Zhiyue poured out her heart full of tenderness and indulged in her only pampering, thinking she had found a lover to stay with her for the rest of her life.
But after the orphan Su Lianrou, who once saved Chu Yanyuan's life, returned to Beijing, all the tenderness was suddenly shattered. She held on to the grace of saving her life and pretended to be weak, sowing discord step by step, weaving one trap after another to confuse right and wrong. Chu Yanyuan was filled with guilt and believed in hypocrisy. He repeatedly stabbed and treated Wen Zhiyue, who treated him sincerely, with words.
At the end of the year banquet, Su Lianrou carefully planned a vicious plot to frame her. Chu Yanyuan ignored Wen Zhiyue's truth and humiliated Wen Zhiyue in public, sending her to a desolate prison cell. During her two-month imprisonment, she was subjected to cold scorn and ridicule, coughing up blood day and night. Her past love was wasted away by endless grievances and betrayals, and she was completely heartbroken.
When the imperial doctor presented all the evidence, Chu Yanyuan was shocked to realize that he had crushed the purest sincerity in the world with his own hands. He punished the villain severely, put down his power and traveled thousands of miles to pursue his wife, and he humbled himself and repented, only asking for a trace of forgiveness.
The scars never fade away, but the love never ends. After being broken and separated, the two reunited in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. The pain of the past could not be erased, but the belated sincerity and long-term persistence finally made the frozen cold moon warm again. After being devastated, they exchanged for the gentle redemption of staying together for the rest of their lives.
