The young love is deep, and Murong Xin, who belongs to the royal family, will do whatever it takes to ascend to the throne. He wants to marry Du Ziling, who stayed with her during the full moon night, and protect her throughout her life. But every step he takes pushes his beloved deeper into despair, and ultimately beyond redemption.
Du Ziling, the daughter of the prime minister's concubine, could not choose her own birth, let alone her own life. The prince who loved her deeply but would do anything to her, her father who was greedy for power, and her jealous sister made her miserable and wanted to live away from the world...
In the end, deep love turned into the deepest hurt. After her beauty faded away, he understood what she said back then: I wish to spend the rest of my life living in the green lanterns and ancient poems, eating simple meals, reciting poems and chanting scriptures, wandering with clouds and wild cranes, among the mountains and rivers.
