Chu Heng, heir to the Duke's household, was young but grave and composed. He had never lost on the battlefield or at court, yet nearly fell for a country girl.
Ambushed while away from the capital on official business, he passed out in a remote mountain village and was saved by a young farm girl.
The country girl was unsophisticated, so he promised a generous reward. But she had no intention of asking him to repay her.
Just as he thought he'd met a good person, the seemingly harmless farm girl drugged him with medicine used to breed livestock, hoping to keep the child and get rid of the father.
Chu Heng saw through her scheme. Feeling sorry for her lonely, helpless situation, he let it go and proposed that they become sworn siblings, then took her to the capital to search for her family.
The capital really was a lucky place. Everything went smoothly for the girl, and even something as difficult as finding her family became easy. She soon found her relatives and her childhood sweetheart, a cousin.
Watching them agree to marry, Chu Heng secretly clenched his fists, regretting that he hadn't taken advantage of their closeness first. But it wasn't too late to make amends. This time, he would strike first.
Theme: Those who pursue love plan every step.
