Yun Qing was originally betrothed to the imperial prince. When he ascended the imperial throne, the glory that should have belonged to her was instead bestowed upon another woman, and an imperial decree was issued summoning her to the palace. Unwilling to accept such an arrangement, the Yun family chose to protect their household with wisdom and reject the imperial favors. Yun Qing calmly let go of her past engagement, untangled from old emotional entanglements. By chance, she reunited with Qin Yi, the Heir of the Prince of Zhenbei, whom she had met briefly in her youth. Sharing a devotion to their country, the two joined hands to navigate the hardships of the people, came to truly know one another amidst the ups and downs of the world, and ultimately reaped a wonderful marriage built on mutual respect and a two-way journey toward each other.
