Seven years ago, in the fog at night on the Qiujiang River, Wu Huaijin, the minister of the Ministry of War, and Liu Weixi, the daughter of the guilty minister, said goodbye with a confused voice. She gave him a bag of orchid grass tips, and he gave her a personal jade pendant, agreeing to "treasure each other", but little did he know that this separation actually lasted seven years of ups and downs.
Seven years later, he was ordered to go south to inspect the navy and returned to his hometown of Jinling. She has gone from being a harp girl on the river to becoming a harpist in the city, running a quiet harp shop in Yanzi Lane. It was supposed to be the joy of reunion after a long separation, but instead it was involved in the undercurrent of corruption in the Jiangnan officialdom - the forces that framed her father back then reached out again, the mysterious guardianship of the new supervisory censor Su Yan, and the secret follow-up of Jianghu Shadow Guards... Amidst the layers of fog, the truth about the separation that year slowly emerged.
This is a wait and pursuit spanning seven years. When the autumn river becomes foggy again, will the lantern holder still be there? A broken string can be continued, so a dream can be fulfilled, but can deep love withstand the grinding of time and the struggle of power?
Intention: In the torrent of the times, what is waiting?
