On the tenth day of April in the 21st year of Daoguang's reign, the weather in Guangzhou became unbearably hot without warning. In the afternoon, a heavy rain came unexpectedly. The screams in Henan Lin Mansion were gradually swallowed up by the rumbling rain. The young Lin Changjing knew that the Kapok Fairy had brought her mother to a place where she would no longer suffer. Lu Junchen from Sanyuanli Township secretly followed the footsteps of the villagers, trying to drive the ghosts out of the village. Before he fell into coma, he only remembered hearing a few gunshots and vaguely seeing his father's fallen figure.
Lu Junchen, who had been sleeping in the Lin Mansion for many days, woke up and became Lin Chengjing's mute brother. In the following childhood years, he waited for her at Huatutou regardless of rain or shine. On the day when Lin Changjing was twelve years old, she was visiting the temple alone and met a young man in white composing poems under a banyan tree. Little did she know at the time that Tang Yichen, the young man in white who appeared from nowhere, was actually the son of Tang Gaonian, the governor-general of Guangdong and Guangxi. If Chen Zhendong had not appeared in the years, everything would have been so peaceful. Chen Zhendong plotted revenge on Lin Qingjing but was discovered by his mute brother. But from that day on, both the mute brother and Chen Zhendong disappeared silently from Lin Changjing's life.
During the civil strife of the Red Turban Army in the late Qing Dynasty and the external disasters of the British and French invasions, these young people were influenced by fate and fell in love with each other. In the war-torn times, Lin Qingjing, who has experienced family decline, will she choose the mute brother in front of Huadu, Tang Yichen, who is personable and caring for her, or Chen Zhendong, who loves and hates her? Perhaps, all the secrets and answers lie in the distant kapok wind from afar.
