Meng Jiangli assisted Hua Banmeng in eradicating the traitors around Beihai Emperor, and the two secretly fell in love.
During this period, she learned that Hua Banmeng was the daughter of the late emperor Beihai Chi. Beihai Anji admired his brother-in-law Zhang Baifeng and killed his brother to usurp the throne. After consolidating the throne, he imprisoned the general's wife.
Hua Banmeng was framed by Jin Murong for killing the general's wife, and Meng Jiang broke up with Hua Banmeng. The crown prince Wei Sumu took her back to Nan'an Kingdom. Jin Murong assisted Meng Jiangli in ascending the throne.
Wei Sumu was a yandere and ordered Hua Banmeng to be imprisoned. She was in so much pain that she drank the water of forgetfulness. Wei Sumu ordered to harass the border of Beihai Kingdom to provoke Meng Jiangli. Meng Jiangli attacked Nan'an Kingdom to avenge his mother's murder.
When Jin Murong's affair was exposed, Meng Jiangli repented and decided to rescue Hua Banmeng, but Hua Banmeng could not remember the past with him and betrayed Meng Jiangli.
Meng Jiangli was sentenced to public arrow punishment. At the critical moment, Hua Banmeng regained his memory and blocked the arrow for him. Before his death, he swore to never forget each other in the rest of his life.
Intention: Love is protection and fulfillment
