In troubled times, the mountains and rivers are covered with beacon smoke.
Shen Qingli, the taciturn and cold warlord, and Chao Muyu, a pretty and arrogant daughter from aristocratic family, were bound together by a marriage contract with no affection at all.
In the beginning, they were cold and distant when they got along. He was quiet and taciturn, while she was quick-tempered and prickly. As they were together day and night, their frozen hearts gradually moved, and their feelings quietly grew in their relationship. The couple who pretended to be together finally became sincere.
The period of stability did not last long, the family feud completely broke out, the two families were completely on opposite sides, and the loving couple was forced to separate abruptly.
Unable to let go of her obsession, Shen Qingli refused to let go. In order to recover her sweetheart, she resolutely led her army to fight against Chao Muyu's father's army.
When the war situation reached a stalemate, the Chao family secretly attracted foreign aid, and the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.
The sky was filled with artillery fire, and the iron-blooded warlord fought endlessly. The iron-blooded warlord was eventually stained with blood on the battlefield, and his body was shrouded in horse leather and never returned.
It started as a forced union, and fell into a deep love in troubled times. In the end, only Chao Muyu was left standing alone. Year after year, only memories and longings accompany her for the rest of her life.
Concept: Love in troubled times will never be fulfilled.
