Undercurrents surged in the Dajing court, and the aristocratic families were intertwined and disputed endlessly. Shen Zhiwei came from a family of civil servants. He had read poetry and books since he was a child. He had a calm and transparent temperament. He knew that when disputes occur, the people are the first to suffer from displacement. Gu Yanci held military power and guarded northern Xinjiang. He always acted decisively and was a sharp-edged presence among the government and the public. He often disagreed with the political views of the civil servants.
In a game of interests between aristocratic families, an imperial decree granted Shen Zhiwei marriage to Gu Yanci. At first, the two had their own grudges. The civil servants were afraid of the military commanders' monopolization of power, and the military commanders were tired of the civil servants' empty talk. The atmosphere in the mansion was cold and there was a sense of alienation everywhere. Shen Zhiwei does not want her husband and wife to be in tit-for-tat all day long, nor does she want to see the conflicts in the court continue to intensify. She is not eager to argue about right and wrong, but only pays attention to the current situation and sympathizes with the sufferings of border refugees.
Friction broke out again at the border, the voice of war was rising, and the war was about to break out. Shen Zhiwei looked through the old archives of the previous dynasty and sorted out the pros and cons of diplomatic relations. While Gu Yanci was devoting himself to the war, he calmly revealed the crisis of people's livelihood hidden behind the war. Gu Yanci was originally devoted to keeping her homeland, but in their interactions with her again and again, she saw the foresight and benevolence under her weak appearance.
They went from guarding each other to trusting each other. One stabilized the people of the court, the other guarded the country's territory, and worked hand in hand to deal with various forces. Many times, it is easy to win or lose in a short period of time, but it is most difficult to seek long-term peace. They use their own efforts to mediate the parties, not blindly giving in and seeking peace, but understanding that stopping the war and appeasing the people is the fundamental thing.
The storm has settled and the smoke has subsided. The world has just understood that the so-called peace is the most valuable thing, not to compromise and show weakness, but to choose to protect the lights of thousands of families after weighing the balance. There are conflicts in the temple, and there are choices in the family and the country, and they rely on each other to maintain peace and stability in troubled times.
Civil servant Shen Zhiwei and military general Gu Yanci got married according to the decree. At first, they had conflicting political views and many barriers. A war is about to break out on the border. The two put aside their prejudices and work hand in hand to deal with the disputes in the court. They do not blindly compete for power, but weigh the pros and cons with benevolence. They understand the importance of stopping war and bringing peace to the people. They explain that the value of peace is not to give in, but to protect the common people.
