The old madam wants her only son, who spends his days guarding the border, to have an heir, and by a twist of fate, the heroine becomes his concubine. She only wants to save enough money, so she treats the job as a chore. But the oblivious hero gradually finds he can't live without her. {The heroine is alluring without realizing it, and time and again she unintentionally leaves the slow-to-catch-on hero weak in the knees. He only realizes later that he's fallen for her.} Lured into following him to the northern frontier, she endures hardship after hardship, until she gradually becomes his one and only wife, presiding over a general's household blessed with more children and more blessings.
The heroine is terrified of getting pregnant because she wants to go home... Amid the windswept sands of the northern frontier, two oblivious people play a game of chase, with one fleeing and the other pursuing. In the end, those around them bring the two together, and their life becomes a stew that starts bitter and ends sweet.
