Three lives of reincarnation, two lives of different paths, one life of perfection.
Ma Du, the legitimate son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, suddenly lost his family and became a prisoner of the imperial court. He shouldered a blood feud and joined the rebel army, but in the flames of war, he lost his true love three times - Xu Wan, a girl from Qingfeng Town who always brought sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and sacrificed her life to protect him.
The Peace Talisman flickered for three generations, and every time he was reborn, he returned to the Ten Miles of Peach Grove where he first met Xu Wan. He tried to escape, tried to make plans in advance, and tried to face fate head-on, but he could never escape the ending of her dying for him. Hatred follows him like a shadow, and obsession gnaws at his bones and burns his heart. It was not until his fourth life, when he encountered a familiar face in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, that he understood Xu Wan's wish left in the peace talisman: not revenge, but peace and smoothness.
From the bloodshed in the capital to the beacon fire in Ganzhou, from the conspiracy in the court to the first snow in the south of the Yangtze River, Ma Du crossed the cycle of life and death and finally let go of his obsessions over the years. When he opened the study door in his twilight years and saw the old woman carrying osmanthus nectar, he realized that fate had already hidden the answer - the most touching thing was not the earth-shattering revenge, but that after thousands of sails, the old friend was still there, the osmanthus flower was still there, and the years were peaceful.
