Fifteen years ago, Zhou Fuqing was the sole survivor of the Guangning Zhou Clan, which had been wiped out. Now she is the daughter of the prime minister. Rumor has it that the prime minister has a daughter whose fame has spread throughout the capital, and even the imperial prince cannot have her. People say she is destined for greatness. Everyone knows her by the name A Qing, so they all call her Zhou A Qing. The "Qing" in Zhou A Qing is for clearing the Zhou Clan's name, for the Zhou Clan's innocence to be proven. The truth will come to light one day.
Ever since she met Zhou Yu'an at the age of four, she felt something was different. That year, the snow was the heaviest she had seen in many years. She gave Zhou Yu'an his name, telling him it meant to take things as they came and be at peace. Only she knew what she really meant.
As a girl, she thought that once she had cleared the Zhou Clan's name and fulfilled her father's wish, she would ignore his plans for her and seek out Zhou Yu'an alone. Even if it meant going against her own nature, she would stay by his side.
Then her father passed away, going to join her mother. She had to grow up. Throughout that time, Zhou Yu'an stayed by her side, but she seemed to have already guessed how things would end.
Later, once her household was secure, she could no longer delay settling the Zhou Clan's affairs. She returned to the capital and encountered Rong Zhao...
