The Forbidden City was destroyed, and the years of confinement in the palace came to an abrupt end. The twelve-year-old palace maid Feng Ying escaped from the Forbidden City in the chaos of the Qing emperor's abdication, and fell into a completely unfamiliar and turbulent world.
Unaccompanied, hungry and cold, she almost froze to death on the street. Fortunately, Zhou Chengzong, the eldest son of the Zhou family who was passing by, came to her rescue.
The Zhou family is a wealthy businessman in Beiping City. Chengzong was a gentle and elegant man who was in charge of the family business. He brought the helpless Fengying back to his mansion and gave her a place to stay. Although she was just a little maid in the back house, she was a rare refuge in troubled times.
However, the real "trouble" of the Zhou family is the second young master Zhou Chengxuan. He is completely different from his elder brother. He is a well-known dandy in the city of Beiping. He wears bright clothes and angry horses. He has no education or skills. He seems to only know how to have fun and get into trouble. He has become the most unpredictable variable in the life of Fengying Heping, the maid. Sometimes he teases this new "little old-fashioned", and sometimes he comes to her rescue out of temporary whim.
Fengying initially kept a respectful distance from the second young master. Little did they know that under Chengxuan's cynical appearance, there was a heart stirred by the crisis of his family and country.
Behind his seemingly nonsensical behavior is often an instinctive resistance to injustice. The revolutionary trend of thought and the urgency of foreign aggression finally made this deep-seated innocence emerge. He did something that shocked everyone in the Zhou family. He resolutely left behind the privileged life of a young master and decided to join the army and serve the country.
His choice caused an uproar in the Zhou family and allowed Fengying to truly see the inner core of this young man for the first time.
The turbulent current situation threatens the fate of everyone. Feng Ying and Cheng Xuan, master and servant, have different paths, but in the intertwining of accidents, they see the unyielding and light deep in each other's souls.
