The Republic of China is in turmoil, with war raging across the land.
The heroine, A Xue (Su Xue), was born the legitimate granddaughter of the prestigious Su family. Her mother was cast out for love and died with her name still stained by false accusations. A Xue was abandoned in the snow and wind of the twelfth lunar month as soon as she was born, left to grow up an orphan with no one to care for her.
She endured a childhood of hardship, wandering, begging to survive, and facing endless cruelty and contempt. By chance, she mastered peerless medical skills. Strong-willed and gentle, compassionate and kind, she nevertheless bore the weathering of years with no one to rely on.
In a desperate snowstorm on Blackstone Ridge, she saved Lu Zheng, the iron-willed Young Marshal of the Northern Frontier, who had been ambushed and left gravely wounded, on the brink of death.
Lu Zheng had taken command of troops at a young age. Decisive and ruthless, cold-faced and courageous, he held a powerful army in northern Liaobei and was caught in a web of military infighting, family conspiracies, and foreign invasion.
They had been strangers who crossed paths by chance, but her rescue in the snowstorm made him remember forever that little spark of warmth and defiance in the depths of despair.
When they meet again amid the chaos of the times, he searches for her, protects her, and cherishes her, reserving all his tenderness for her alone.
From then on:
When artillery fire from the munitions factory surrounds the city, she risks her life to devise a plan, leading the enemy into an ambush through the mines.
When assassins intercept them in the pine forest, she takes up a gun to protect him, standing by his side as they break through a deadly trap.
When the Su family betrays the country, conspires with the enemy, frames her, and seeks revenge amid ruthless power struggles, she settles the blood feud with her own hands.
When war breaks out in the bitter cold of the northern frontier, she travels a thousand miles to the battlefield, saving countless soldiers with her medical skills as she stands with him to defend their homeland and repel foreign invaders.
The world is in turmoil, conspiracies abound, and war rages on without end.
From an abandoned baby in the snow to a lonely orphan in the streets, she gradually casts off her humble beginnings, saving the world with her compassionate heart and medical skills.
From a solitary, cold Young Marshal to an iron-blooded commander, he gradually lays down his armor, softening for her and devoting the rest of his life to her.
When the smoke of war clears, their grudges are settled.
He welcomes her, weathered by hardship, with a lavish wedding procession and promises her...
