During the Xuanhe period, the two prominent families in Yanling County, the Fan family and the Yan family, forged a feud over the imperial Hua Shi Gang dispute. Fan Hua, the concubine of the Fan family, was smart but neglected since childhood; Yan Ling, the legitimate son of the Yan family, was talented but shouldered the responsibility of the family. When they were young, the two were close friends, but were forced to confront each other due to family feuds.
The Jin soldiers went south, and the mountains and rivers were shattered. Due to family changes, Fan Hua went to the frontier to gain experience in the army; she became an official in Yanling's imperial examination and became a new noble in the court. Ten years later, when Fan Hua returned to his hometown as a general fighting against the Jin Dynasty, he saw Yan Ling coming to supervise the army on the emperor's order. Former close friends, now political enemies, meet again in the flames of war.
The imperial court is corrupt and military orders are difficult to disobey. Fan Hua advocated defending Yanling and uniting with the rebels to fight against the Jin; Yanling was ordered to abandon the city to protect the army. When the two were arguing, a secret that had been buried for ten years surfaced - the dispute over Huashi Gang was actually a trap set up by treacherous officials to cover up the smuggling of arms.
Facing the Jin soldiers and cavalry, Yan Ling finally burned the edict and stood side by side with Fan Hua. Under the city wall of Yanling, they composed a tragic song of their family and country in troubled times with their flesh and blood.
