After the war in Chang'an came to an end, the four of them followed Jiang Qinian to Jiangdu to help Jiang Qinian become the new king. But then, the world once again became turbulent.
His name is Gu Beiting, and he is a dandy disciple of Grandmaster Su Wenze of Cangming Pavilion. He does not have any lofty ambitions in his heart and only wants to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
But in troubled times, the four major forces always have wars without origin. Who can do what they want to do? The master retired, and he can only manage the foundation left by the master. But he can quickly take charge of all this, and there is only one way: practice! Study!
He met one of the most important people in his life: Shen Nan'an. He fell in love with her. When encountering difficulties, she would always solve them with him. Shen Nan'an, who survived the desperate situation, had already grown into an arrogant and awe-inspiring ice flower. It grew wantonly in the cold wind, but it had a good influence on Gu Beiting. During the difficulties and obstacles along the way, she was his lover and his teacher.
After experiencing hardships, he finally understood the principles taught by his master, and the great ambition to serve the country had already been planted in his heart. He was no longer the playboy, but a young man with great ambitions. He always said that when people grow up, they will lose something, but what he lost was exactly what he should not have.
"Did you know? We met once when we were very young."
