After the fall of Beishuo, the prince Xiao Heng became a prisoner of Dayao. In order to protect the survivors, he entered the palace and became an attendant in the middle palace.
Queen Dayao, Nianrou, seems to be unparalleled, but in fact she is a pawn in the hands of powerful ministers. She had no power to stop the battle to destroy the country, and she did not know that the prince of the country was actually her long-lost childhood sweetheart Ah Heng from the south of the Yangtze River.
An old wooden comb hides the love of youth; two shadows in the palace separate the natural chasm of the home and country. She is dignified and distant in front of her, but silently protects him in the back, keeping her identity secret and living in forbearance; he bears the hatred of subjugating his country, but he is unable to resist the inexplicable connection and familiarity in his heart, struggling hard between love and hate.
An assassination made him recognize an old friend in his dream, but when he woke up, this key memory was sealed. He was so close that he didn't recognize his sweetheart.
There are turbulent undercurrents deep in the palace, and powerful officials are watching with eager eyes, and calculations and murderous intentions are approaching step by step. When the dusty memory awakened and the truth of the country's subjugation was revealed, he realized that she had never been on the opposite side, and she was determined to break free from the shackles and stand side by side with him.
Above the embers, love lives on. She abandoned Fengguan, and he reunited with his old subordinates. The two joined forces to overthrow the rebellious ministers. They overcame their grievances and entanglements, and amidst the power schemes of troubled times, they went on the road to restore the country together. In the devastation, they protected each other and ushered in the spring after the disaster.
In troubled times, spring can still emerge from the ashes;
Mountains and rivers are broken, but old friends can finally return hand in hand.
Let's watch a pair of lovers who were tricked by fate, break through the intrigues of the palace wall, work side by side to wipe out the rebellious ministers, collect the old troops, return to their hometown in the northern border, restore the mountains and rivers of Beishuo together, and rush to a spring that has been delayed for many years amidst the ashes.
