Song Zhaoheng, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue, sets off for her wedding adorned with ten miles of splendid bridal finery. Yet, on the bustling main street during her wedding procession, her fiancé, Marquis Lu Chen of Yongning, actually orders her to walk to the wedding ceremony, allowing her scheming half-sister, Song Lan, who is pretending to be ill, to occupy the eight-man bridal sedan chair meant for the principal bride! After enduring public humiliation, Song Zhaoheng tears up the marriage contract and refuses to suffer in silence any longer. With a single letter, she summons Pei Zheng, the cold-faced God of War whose life she once saved. The general arrives with an imposing procession, defies the rumors sweeping the entire city, and publicly asks for her hand in marriage. The bridal procession changes course, and the legitimate daughter marries the God of War instead! The Marquis's household is thrown into chaos, her half-sister's schemes come to nothing, and Lu Chen pays the price for his arrogance.
