When Jinxiu Kingdom is on the brink of defeat in the battle at Pingling, the female archer in red, Fu Yi Xiao, shoots an arrow at Susha's eldest prince, Feng Sui Ge, turning the tide of the battle. But Yi Xiao accidentally falls off a cliff shortly after and loses her memory. After Yi Xiao is rescued by the Ling family of doctors of the Righteous Villa, she unexpectedly reunites with her old enemy, Sui Ge.

Looking at the mess Yi Xiao is in, Sui Ge infers that it must be related to his predicament in the battle at Pingling. Sui Ge wants to use Yi Xiao to find out the truth behind the scenes, while Yi Xiao wants to use Sui Ge to survive under heavy pursuit.

So the two, who were mortal enemies a month ago, must now rely on each other to survive in the turbulent Yujing City, and their love secretly blossoms through countless near-death experiences. The seeds have been sown, and amid the hatred, betrayal, deception, unrequited desire, and inability to let go, everyone is both a player and a pawn.

Yi Xiao and Sui Ge can only work closely together in the storm to overcome the dark conspiracy, break the shackles of fate, live up to the people’s expectations, and not let each other down.

Lots of politics going on and an arranged marriage for political reasons. Strangers become friends become lovers and help each other succeed. 2ML grew up with FL and he carries a grudge about losing her to ML. ML is a battle-hardened general.
