Dasheng perished and the imperial city collapsed. The national master Xie Linyuan rescued Princess Zhaohua Shen Qingyuan from the sea of fire, and the two hid in the mountains to escape the world.
Xie Linyuan is cold and tough to the outside world, but is very gentle to the princess alone, and secretly fends off the new emperor Xiao Che's several pursuits. Shen Qingyuan wanted to gather his old troops to avenge and restore the country, but he had already fallen deeply into the deep love of the imperial master and was trapped between the hatred of his family and the love of his children.
Xie Linyuan confessed that he had admired her since he was young. He saved her half out of morality and half out of selfishness. He gave the princess two choices: if she insisted on returning to the country, he would use all his wisdom to help her; if she was willing to let go of her hatred, the two would live together in seclusion.
Soon Xiao Che personally led troops to surround the mountain, and Shen Qingyuan was forced to make the final choice between the great cause of restoring the country and stable love.
Purpose: In troubled times, the righteousness of family and country and private love are not absolutely opposite. Love is not an excuse to compromise hatred, and forgiveness is not a reason to forget blood. It explores the self-choice and two-way redemption of small people in troubled times under the shackles of fate.
