In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, in Yunzhou City, which was separatist by warlords, the 22-year-old female marshal Wen Yining was in charge of half of the Wen family's military power and was known for her cold-blooded cruelty. The only tenderness in her heart is the adjutant Song Anran who "died" after falling off a cliff to save her four years ago. Song Anran was actually a woman. She was brought back from a beggar pile by Wen's father for training. She became Wen Yining's adjutant at the age of eighteen and protected her countless times. Until four years ago, when she fell off a cliff to lure pursuers away, she survived the disaster but left a hideous scar on her face. From then on, she lived anonymously in Yunzhou City by washing and pedicuring people's feet, silently guarding the person she dared not recognize.
Wen Yining was arranged by her father to marry into the Wang family, a millennium-old family in Yunzhou. The target was Wang Zhi, who appeared gentle and elegant but was actually deeply scheming. On the eve of her wedding, Wen Yining accidentally walked into a shabby foot washing shop. The hands that were washing her feet with her head lowered trembled slightly. She recognized the scar at a glance and also recognized her Song Anran.
Old relationships and responsibilities, power and true feelings, identity and gender, family blood feuds and the suspicions of those in power are all intertwined, pushing everyone into an abyss of no return. When the emperor's orders are overwhelming, their brother's anger is like a knife, and the world's mouth is like a blade, their feelings are like fire cooking oil in troubled times, eventually turning into ashes and becoming eternal.
Purpose: Republic of China
