At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the boundaries between the Jianghu and the imperial court were blurred. Nineteen years ago, "Sihai" was destroyed, and the embers have not yet cooled.
In the Sima Mansion in Xudu, the young lady of the Sima family, Sima Zhiyan, was as quiet as her age. She lived in Xudu for several years, receiving greetings, meeting visitors, and taking care of the affairs of the mansion. She never broke the rules and never made close friends with others. It's just that she understands that she didn't come to Xudu to live a stable life.
She still hasn't found the answer to what happened nine years ago
Now the people she was waiting for are arriving one after another
Ouyang Luyi, a survivor of Luoshuiting, saw his former self in Sima Zhiyan; Cao Pi, Cao Cao's son, carried the old wounds of his brother's death and took his life into the situation for more secret interests; Sima Yi, a bystander who should have stayed out of the matter, chose to "help her" in this matter.
They set out from Xudu and walked all the way to the depths of the old rivers and lakes. What Sima Zhiyan didn't know was that the answer she was looking for was also waiting for her - for nine full years.
Intention: How does a person live with something he can't let go of, and how does he get to the day when he can finally let it go?
