At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Gege Yiran was the only daughter of Prince Yan. Her biological mother was frightened by the assassination of the prince and died prematurely. She hated the hypocrisy and inferiority of the royal family since she was a child. She was enlightened by nun Wen Yu and had the idea of equality and freedom in her heart. She was unwilling to be bound by an arranged marriage. On the other side, Fang Jibai's life experience was miserable. His father failed to assassinate the prince and was executed in Caishikou on a snowy day. He went to the East to learn fighting and explosive skills, joined the organization, and aimed to assassinate Prince Yan.
The two met for the first time in a nunnery, and their vague feelings quietly grew. The young prince Yijiu was arrogant and cruel, and bullied his servants wantonly. The prince's indulgence in favor made Yiran completely disappointed. Fang Jibai sneaked into the palace and waited for an opportunity to assassinate her. When the two met again, it ignited her desire to break out of the prison.
The old and new forces are fighting fiercely in Wuchang. The Queen Mother decrees that Yiran will be married to the general Fulkang, and they will get married at the frontline camp. Fang Jibai rushes to Wuhan with the rebel army, waiting for an opportunity to blow up the Qing artillery position. The two met again in the melee. Yiran protected each other several times, but because of his identity as a Manchu, he was almost executed by the uprising people, and he was on the verge of life and death several times.
Although the feudal monarchy ended, Fang was both white and could not be tolerated by the warlords, so he was forced to flee to Europe to participate in World War I, leaving Yiran alone in Shanghai, watching eagerly.
After narrowly escaping death, Fang Jibai returned to the country to look for Yiran. At this time, new conflicts formed between China and Japan. Yiran's father relied on Japan to attempt restoration, and Fang Jibai and his organization became the biggest obstacle to Japan's restoration in the Northeast.
With heavy snowfall all over the sky, Fang Jibai completed his mission and died alone, making a promise to Yi Ran that they would die together in the next life.
