Lu Wanwan, daughter of the Duke, has loved Wei Jing since her youth. A royal marriage decree seemingly fulfills her lifelong wish, only for her to learn after their wedding that Wei Jing's heart has always belonged to his widowed sister-in-law, Gu Wangshu. When rebels capture both women and force Wei Jing to choose, he abandons Wanwan without hesitation, tossing her a dagger to commit suicide and protect his family's reputation. Driven to desperation, she is saved by Xie Xuzhi, the leader of the Solitary Wolf Stronghold, and offers to become his bandit chieftain's bride. Living alongside him, she discovers his buried devotion, and genuine feelings blossom between them. When Wei Jing full of regret climbs the mountain to win her back, an ambush strikes, and Xie Xuzhi is gravely wounded protecting her, tumbling into the river. Heartbroken, Wanwan resolutely dissolves her marriage with Wei Jing, praying daily at the temple for Xie Xuzhi's safety. At the lantern festival the following year, a mysterious man arrives carrying a floral lantern to honor his promise—the one she has longed for has finally returned.
