Synopsys 1:

The Jiang and Song families have been friends for generations. Before Song Wan was born, she was betrothed to Jiang Xingjian. The two grew up together, and she was confined to the inner courtyard, learning everything to prepare to be a wife in the Jiang family. The young man, ambitious and high-spirited, left for the frontier to build his career before reaching adulthood. Before leaving, Jiang Xingjian personally put a white jade hairpin on her. With a promise to wait for him, Song Wan kept him in her heart, even if he died on the battlefield. She insisted on marrying into the Chengyang Marquis’s mansion, holding his memorial tablet.

She kept the young man in her heart and remained a widow for six years, only to see Jiang Xingjian return to the capital with his beloved. The young man’s beloved behaved strangely, and during the summer, she made ice and supported the Marquis’s mansion with firearms. Song Wan watched as he embraced the girl, showering her with endless affection. She also saw him personally take away the power of the household from her hands only to make the girl smile.

Synopsys 2:

After six years of widowhood in the Marquis’s mansion, holding her husband’s memorial tablet, Song Wan’s husband returned with another woman. He was her husband, and she couldn’t let the two of them remain so cold towards each other. She mustered up the courage to gently hold his hand, but he shook it off.
At that time, she never thought she would one day walk the path to the harem.

Crown Prince Shen Qianyu was held hostage for twelve years, enduring hardships, in exchange for twelve years of peace in Dongning. Upon his return, he was met not with honor and glory but with contempt and disdain. With nothing to his name and no supporters, the idea of a comeback seemed like a fantasy. At that time, he never thought he would seek help from his former friend’s sister-in-law, Song Wan.

Inch by inch, they shared the dream of the mountains and rivers with a pure heart. Facing the crisis in Dongning, they were of one mind. They upheld the principle of putting the country first and love second, vowing to defend the land to the death.

When peace finally comes, can they hold hands and live as an ordinary couple for the rest of their lives?
