She was fostered in the General's Mansion since she was a child, and grew up with pets. She has a pure and kind temperament. When he was ten years old, he picked up a dying little beggar and named him Zi Ning. The two lived together for more than ten years and developed a deep friendship. Mo An didn't know that Zi Ning was actually the fifth surviving prince from the previous dynasty, and he hid the hatred of destroying the country.
After winning the title, Mo An went on an expedition, and Zi Ning accompanied the army, but secretly colluded with foreign enemies and leaked military information. The enemy troops approached the city, and the two men looked at each other on the wall. Mo An's eyes were full of disappointment, while Zi Ning looked at each other coldly. The capital city was destroyed, all the generals in the palace died for their country, Mo An was imprisoned by Zi Ning, and he was stopped despite several attempts to die.
As the New Year approaches, Mo An pretends to surrender and follows Zi Ning to the city tower to watch the fireworks. He whispered "Happy New Year" and jumped down.
