The Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms were the most chaotic era in Chinese history, a chaotic world where heroes competed for power and wars raged.
He, she and him met in such troubled times.
He was the greatest king of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He was a man of great strategy, resourceful and decisive, and his majestic life ended the centuries-old fragmentation of the northern regime. However, the moment he climbed up and shouted, he suddenly looked back, but she was nowhere to be seen.
She is a distressed princess of the Xia Kingdom, charming and willful, but stubborn and shrewd. He was fostered in a foreign country since he was a child, but his life that should have been miserable and suffering was restored to glory because of his protection. They were the best childhood sweethearts, but they drifted away because of their great achievements.
He is the prince of Beiliang and the general of Beiliang. He is brave and good at fighting, but gentle and elegant. Underneath his seemingly easy-going face, he has a heart that is more determined and tougher than anyone else. In that battle that was about the life and death of the country, a wayward girl broke in and destroyed everything for him. He hated and resented her, but she also loved her deeply.
A guardian, a promise, a rain of willow flowers in the south of the Yangtze River that will never be seen, a love and hatred intertwined with grudges.
Five random people are in chaos in China, and horses are trampling the Central Plains.
Amid the flashes of swords and shadows in troubled times, a woman's heartache unfolds.
