Gu Chenghuan, an independent modern-day doctor, is thrown a thousand years into the past by an accident. Her soul enters the body of a young orphan in a fictional dynasty shaken by war, whose family has fallen into ruin and who is bullied by everyone.
The original owner was timid and died young. Gu Chenghuan opens her eyes to a desperate situation. She means to make a quiet living with her medical skills and live in peace, but when snow and wind besiege Yanmen Pass, she meets Lu Hong, a young general charged with defending the frontier, clad in armor and standing firm to protect the nation's borders.
Lu Hong comes from a family of military officers and was given command at a young age. Stern and reserved, he keeps strict discipline in his army and cares only for his country and its lands, never for romance.
He is the backbone of the frontier troops and the guardian deity in the hearts of the people. A man of war, weathered by the elements, he is said by all to have a heart of stone. No one has ever seen his gentle side.
Only when Gu Chenghuan arrives at the military camp with her medicine chest, saving lives again and again with her composure, courage, and peerless medical skills, and standing with him to defend the isolated city, does his frozen heart finally make an exception for her.
She understands the burdens he cannot escape and admires his devotion to his country. She uses modern knowledge to help him overcome crises and her gentle strength to soothe his many wounds.
He protects her for a lifetime and cherishes her with all his heart, reserving every tenderness and favor in the world for her alone.
Courtly suspicion, enemy plots, the turmoil of a warring age, and the evil in people's hearts cannot part them.
For her, he lays down his armor and retires, giving up a lifetime of glory.
For him, she hangs up her sleeves to cook and keeps a little home of their own.
From the smoke of war at Yanmen to the misty rains of Jiangnan, from finding comfort in each other amid chaos to a love deepened by time.
She crossed through time, seeking neither riches nor power, and wanting no part in palace intrigue. She only wishes to stand by his side, see the land at peace, and share a simple, happy life with him.
