Sui Sui is a princess confined to the Cold Palace. She has seen the world's harshness since childhood, yet remains pure-hearted and kind.
One day, she saves a bloodied man and hides him in her palace, where she takes careful care of him.
The man's name is Wen Jing. He's handsome and highly skilled in martial arts.
He helps Sui Sui teach the little eunuchs who bully her a lesson, and on bright moonlit nights, he takes her out of the palace to see the lights in people's homes.
With him by her side, Sui Sui feels for the first time that even winter in the Cold Palace isn't so hard to endure.
Later, the emperor finally remembers the little princess in the Cold Palace, but the imperial edict orders her to marry into a foreign tribe.
That night, the moon is huge and round. Sui Sui rises onto her tiptoes and kisses Wen Jing on the lips. "I'm going to marry into a foreign tribe. I won't be able to set lanterns afloat with you anymore."
Wen Jing is a prince of Zhao. The day his mother went into labor, she gave birth to twins. His father considered this an ill omen, and to prevent it from tarnishing the royal family's reputation, Wen Jing was kept out of sight from childhood. When he grew older, he was sent to Chu as a hostage.
His life was nothing but darkness, until a little girl came into it.
She held his face in her hands, her eyes as clear as a stream. "A Jing, you're the best person I've ever met. For my sake, you have to live well."
He will live well and grow strong enough to protect her.
