In June of the fourth year of Taiping, today's emperor Jing Heng is sitting in the main hall humming the tuneless lyrics that he taught him to sing back then. The long chai comes back, but there is no fish to eat; the long chai comes back, but there is no car.
Eleven years ago, Jing Heng, who had just ascended the throne, traveled incognito and unexpectedly met the talented Wei Ling at Zongheng Restaurant. The two hit it off and had a great conversation. Afterwards, under Jing Heng's hard work, the two finally fell in love with each other, and Wei Ling became the young emperor's only confidant in the court. When Beidi invaded, Wei Ling persuaded Jing Heng to appoint himself as commander, and led his troops northward amid doubts throughout the court. Wei Ling, who was born into a family of generals, lived up to expectations and sent out unexpected troops to surround Beidi's main force and achieve a complete victory. Wei Ling, who returned from victory, unexpectedly learned that Emperor Jing Heng was about to get married on the way. Although Jing Heng repeatedly explained that his wedding was a temporary measure, Wei Ling, who was extremely emotional, still refused to stay and asked to be stationed at the border. Jing Heng reluctantly agreed.
While stationed at the customs, Jing Heng kept sending small gifts to Wei Ling, hoping that Wei Ling would soon be able to untie his knot and return to him. On the other side, Yang Jin, the powerful prime minister who was also the head of the country, was very wary of Wei Ling, fearing that he would have rebellion ambitions by supporting his troops, so he conspired with his retainer Zhang Chong to overthrow Wei Ling. Under Zhang Chong's deliberate arrangement, Jing Heng and Wei Ling gradually drifted apart, and finally met each other in arms.
