The turbulent era of separatist regimes is engulfed in the flames of war. Qiao Wan, carrying the past of the former Qiao clan, catches the eye of Ji Jiuye, a powerful military commander. From their initial entanglement at the marshal's mansion in Sucheng, the two grow closer amidst political maneuvering and romantic affection. With brothers fighting among themselves in the court and undercurrents surging in Ning'an, various factions take turns entering the stage. Qiao Wan sheds her timidity and learns self-defense skills, no longer willing to be just a delicate flower dependent on others; Ji Jiuye makes a solemn promise of an eight-bearer bridal sedan chair amidst the power game. While dealing with open and hidden attacks and malicious provocations, they test each other's true feelings. Journeying from Sucheng to the crisis-ridden city of Ning'an, the two join hands to rush towards a grand wedding of their own in troubled times.
