The daughter of the Grand Tutor, Shen Ansui, is forced to marry Pei Ce, a hunter from the mountains. At first, she is full of resistance to this marriage, keeping her distance from Pei Ce at every turn — a man of stern temperament and few words. As they spend their days together, she gradually discovers that beneath his cold exterior lies tenderness and a strong sense of duty, always stepping forward to protect her whenever danger arises. In the simple joys of daily life, they resolve misunderstandings and untie emotional knots, standing side by side to face schemes and storms coming from the capital, weathering hardships together. In the end, Pei Ce resolves to take the military examination to secure a more stable future for Shen Ansui. The two, once estranged and distant, grow to share one heart, staying together as they walk hand in hand toward a new life.
