At the beginning of the new dynasty, the mountains and rivers changed owners, and the subjugated princess Ye Elegy struggled to survive in the quagmire of fate. He was once a noble man, but now he has to fight for the slim hope of restoring the country in this undercurrent of the new dynasty. She is like a frost-beaten plum in a deep valley, weak but tough, with every breath she takes hiding her longing for her old country and unwillingness to do so.
Gu Huaijin, as the new emperor's right-hand counselor, was talented and resourceful. He made great changes in the court and devoted himself to the stability of the new dynasty. He is like a green pine on a high cliff, standing tall and resolute, but he doesn't know that the thread of fate has quietly entangled him with Ye Elegy.
A spring banquet made the fate of the two people intersect for the first time. Gu Huaijin's temptation pushed Ye Elegy to the forefront of public attention; Ye Elegy cleverly responded with a poem full of thoughts about family and country, and since then the seeds of curiosity and appreciation have been planted in Gu Huaijin's heart. Is the jade pendant he handed out a test, a helping hand, or another trap set by fate?
Since then, the situation in the court has changed, and the competition between various forces has continued. Ye Elegy was struggling on the road to restoration of the country, and every step was like walking on thin ice; Gu Huaijin gradually fell into a dilemma between emotion and loyalty on the way to assisting the king. They are trapped deeper and deeper in the whirlpool of intrigue, and the flame of love grows hard between hatred and responsibility.
When the remnants of the old country rose up and the new dynasty's cavalry suppressed them ruthlessly, Ye Wange and Gu Huaijin were forced to stand on opposite ends. On the battlefield, swords and swords flashed, and they looked at each other with endless struggle and pain in their eyes. In this troubled world, can their love break through their family and country?
