Shen Yuan, the second daughter of the Shen family, goes to great lengths to pretend to be ill to escape an arranged imperial marriage. All she wants is for Gu Changyuan, the Grand Secretary, to write her a letter of divorce so she can head to Jiangnan and enjoy a carefree life. But Gu Changyuan refuses to fall for any of her tricks. No matter what kind of ridiculous antics she pulls, he patiently accommodates her at every turn. Gradually, Shen Yuan realizes that his desire to marry her has nothing to do with coveting the Shen family's military power. Eight years ago, on a snowy night at the northern frontier, a young girl saved a gravely wounded boy. This forgotten memory finally resurfaces. After all their twists and turns, the debt of a lifesaving kindness from long ago has blossomed into love. Shen Yuan, who was once determined to run away, ultimately chooses to stay by his side. Together, they face every storm that comes their way.
