In Nancheng during the Republic of China era, the country was battered by wind and rain.
Song Anhe, an heiress whose identity was shrouded in mystery, was now an ordinary teacher at an orphanage. Childhood trauma had left her afraid of men, but a sudden bomb threat entangled her fate with Fu Zhilan, a warlord wielding immense power.
He came to defuse the bomb and happened to save her as she risked her life to protect her students.
To save the orphanage she cherished as much as her own life from being forcibly demolished, Song Anhe was compelled to bow her head to Fu Zhilan.
Just then, Fu Zhilan was being hounded by his family to marry and was at his wits' end. He also suffered from a strange "fear of women." He proposed a contract: she would marry him to appease his family, and he would keep the orphanage safe. On their wedding night, they treated each other like ice. It was a marriage of convenience, with no trespassing on either side.
But as they spent day after day together, the ice began to melt.
Fu Zhilan's commanding nature and the tenderness he occasionally let show, along with Song Anhe's resilience and kindness, quietly planted feelings in their hearts. Just as their battle-scarred hearts finally drew close and they thought their hardships were over, war erupted in the north. Fu Zhilan was ordered to provide support, but mysteriously disappeared on the battlefield, his fate unknown.
The skies over Nancheng darkened once more.
Song Anhe gazed at the empty marshal's residence, the marriage contract clenched in her hand. This time, she would no longer wait to be rescued.
To find her beloved and protect the hard-won happiness they had found, she resolved to step into this war-torn world...
