Li Zhishui, daughter of the Imperial Physician, is a brilliant doctor who earns merit for saving people during an epidemic. The emperor issues an edict marrying her to Prince Li.
When people hear the news, they can't help sighing for her. She will surely suffer terribly in the future.
Prince Li, Pei Zhang, is peerlessly handsome and a brave warrior. Unfortunately, he was gravely wounded after years of fighting two years ago and lost his sight. Since then, his moods have been unpredictable.
On their wedding night, Prince Li wears a cool expression. Seeing this, Li Zhishui feels relieved instead.
She cautiously proposes three rules for their marriage.
Prince Li agrees without much concern, as if he has no expectations at all.
Six months later, his eyesight shows signs of improvement. Li Zhishui is delighted, but doesn't forget to remind him of their agreement.
As promised, once he regains his sight, she will leave.
Unexpectedly, when he hears her, his expression freezes. After a long silence, he finally says, "That was only a verbal agreement. It doesn't count."

Pei Zhang remembers first hearing about Li Zhishui in a military camp on the border.
Back then, he had only heard her voice, as gentle and fine as spring rain seeping into his heart.
After he could see again, Pei Zhang spent every day following her slender figure with a burning gaze, his heart surging.
Zhishui, Zhishui, his wife.
