Su Wanqing, the eldest princess of Daqi, and Shen Yanzhi, the young general of the general family, have known each other since they were young and were accompanied by gardenia flowers. Later, rumors spread in the palace and the power of the court pressured them. Finally, they were forced to alienate and retreat step by step. However, they still could not escape the ancient Machiavellian sadomasochism story of the checks and balances of imperial power and the dismantling of fate.
They were once the cleanest beam of light in Yong'an City. They chatted side by side under the gardenia tree year after year, thinking that sincerity could overcome all difficulties. But palace rules are like walls, imperial power is like chess, and it is the biggest taboo to tie the general's military power to the royal family. Rumors, beatings, power cuts, and deceptions come one after another. They can only use alienation as a shield and tolerance as armor to hide their feelings and seal their love.
Later, the young general went to the border, and the princess from the deep palace guarded Anning Palace alone.
Gardenias are still blooming year after year, but the people admiring the flowers side by side are already separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, as well as the status of kings and ministers, the ups and downs of the court, and the youthful time that can never be returned.
