Wei Ying, the Flying Star General, returns to the capital in triumph after guarding the northern frontier alongside her father and brothers.
Through three long years, a young man has held on to a secret hope, waiting for someone who knows nothing of it.
When they meet again, he often visits the Wei residence. Courteous and well-mannered, he carries himself with all the refinement of a noble family.
In the eyes of others, he is aloof and proud, never one to smile, like snow on a distant mountain, forbidding to strangers.
Only Wei Ying knows his tenderness and thoughtfulness, his attention to every detail, and the lively spark within him.
Unversed in romance, Sister Wei treats him as the most trustworthy little sidekick she could ever ask for.
That is, until rumors begin to spread: everyone says she is about to get married.
The young man, who has always kept his feelings in check, finally loses control.
Drunk beneath the moon, his cheeks burning and eyes red and brimming with tears, he gazes at her pitifully. His drunken words are laced with an obsession and resentment he can no longer suppress: “If that person can, why can't I?”
Wei Ying fails to grasp the burning feelings behind his words, but something in her heart begins to take root, beyond her control.
Everyone believes he is cold and ruthless, a nobleman who keeps others at a distance.
No one knows that beneath his gentle exterior lie a passionate, sincere love, years of endless torment, and a secret he cannot reveal.
