It is directed by Zhu Ruibin (Ashes of Love) and stars Bai Lu (Ordinary Greatness, One and Only), Zhang Linghe (Love Between a Fairy and a Devil, Flourish in Time) and Wang Xingyue (Delicacies Destiny). Jiang Xue Ning (played by Bai Lu) went to great lengths to become empress, but was forced to commit suicide during a palace rebellion. Now, Jiang Xue Ning’s dream is to get away from power and be in control of her own life. However, she accidentally enters the palace as a tutor and becomes a student of Imperial Master Xie Gui (played by Zhang Linghe). While accepting Xie Gui’s teachings, Jiang Xue Ning secretly plans to stop Yan Lin (played by Zhou Junwei) from the upcoming “Blood Crown Ceremony”. With Jiang Xue Ning and Xie Gui’s plan, the lives of the Yan family were saved. After the “Blood Crown Ceremony”, Jiang Xue Ning is unwittingly involved in the imperial court’s plan to eliminate these rebels against the Pingnan King and infiltrates the enemy camp with Zhang Jie (played by Wang Xingyue). When the hostile country of Yue comes to invade, Princess Shen Zhi Yi (played by Liu Juning) sets out on a determined path to peace. To save her friend Shen Zhi Yi, Jiang Xue Ning goes north with Xie Gu to attack Yue. In the midst of many crises, Xie Gu protects Jiang Xue Ning even at the risk of harming himself, and the two fall in love with each other. However, a larger conspiracy gradually surfaced, pointing to the truth of the Pingnan King incident twenty years ago. In the end, Jiang Xue Ning and Xie Gui teamed up to reveal the truth that year, Jiang Xue Ning also used love to convert Xie Gui, and the two eventually became a couple.
