Cheng Shaoshang, left behind by her parents who went off to war, faces challenges from a scheming aunt and struggles with estrangement from her family. Lacking love and security, she is cautious in choosing a marriage partner and meets three suitors: Ling Buyi, the emperor's adopted son; Yuan Shen, a talented figure from Bailu Mountain; and Lou Yao, an aristocrat. Despite a rocky path to love, Shaoshang remains steadfast. Her involvement with Ling Buyi leads them into a mystery surrounding his family and identity and together they confront a national crisis, growing through their experiences and upholding their ideals.
General, Ling Buyi was victorious, and all the civil and military officials greeted him because of the victory of the war. After receiving the honour, he declined the invitation of accompanying the emperor for dinner and went to Chengjia Village to arrest the suspect.
Madam Cheng learned that her younger brother had been arrested and threw a tantrum, accusing Shaoshang of being unfilial. However, the Cheng couple firmly supported their daughter. They recalled how, when she was born, Madam Cheng had insisted on keeping her at home based on a fortune teller's advice, leading to more than ten years of separation from her parents. Xiao Yuanyi, both distressed and worried, feared that her daughter had developed bad habits due to a lack of proper guidance. She resolved to strictly discipline Cheng Shaoshang.
Uncle Dong was assigned to the frontier, and Cheng Shaoshang was successful in assisting in handling the case so Ling Buyi allowed her family to bid farewell to Uncle Dong.
Madam Ge vents all her anger on her husband who is disabled. Xiao Yuanyi stood up for the uncle and exposed what Madame Ge had done over the years.
The Cheng family moved into a new house, and the family was very happy. Cheng Shaoshang set up her own small courtyard and even started to make her own furniture. However her mother thinks she was addicted to entertainment.
Cheng Cha's mother insisted that Lian Fang wanted to grab Cheng Cha's book, and then fought with Chang Pu. Cheng Shaoshang confronted Mrs. Fu and Changpu. Finally they found out the truth.
In order to humiliate Cheng Shaoshang, Wang Ling deliberately left an invitation card for the birthday banquet of Yuchang, hoping that Shaoshang would attend. When Shao Shang was choosing gifts for her, she was stopped by Yuan Shen again. Because she didn't want to be entangled with Yuan Shen, she had to promise to speak for Yuan Shen again.
When Cheng Shaoshang left, she heard Cheng Yang crying for help so she rushed to rescue her. But it turned out that Wang Ling wanted to play a trick on Cheng Shaoshang.
Cheng Shaoshang was having a great time with Qiqi. She is interested in architecture and began to study the bridges at Wan's. When she got to know there'd be a birthday party coming soon, she came up with a plan.
Cheng Shaoshang got her chance to take a revenge, but her plan was already known by the Old Madam Wan. Old Madam Wan told Xiao Yuanyi about Shaoshang's revenge. Yuanyi decided to punish her.
While leaving Cheng Shaoshang was blocked by Lou Yao. Lou Yao hesitantly said that he knew that Cheng Shaoshang did the demolition of the bridge, but he felt that Cheng Shaoshang did nothing wrong.
Ling Buyi rescued Shao Shang who was besieged by the bandits. Shao Shang went to thank Ling Buyi, but found that he was arguing with his subordinates...
As the granddaughter of Mr. Cheng was seriously injured, Cheng Shaoshang and Lou Yao went to take care of her.
The granddaughter of Mr. Cheng didn't survive her injuries. Lou Yao confesses to Shaoshang, saying that Shaoshang was the most perfect and courageous girl he had ever seen.
Without mother’s interruption, Shaoshang and Lou Yao were enjoying their time together. Shaoshang took Lou Yao to the countryside, where they found Huangfu Yi. Huangfu Yi got to know that Shaoshang is the niece of Sang Shunhua, and therefore took great care of her.
Ling Yi tried to persuade Ling Buyi to not interfere in Fan Chang’s case. But Ling Buyi was not convinced. Later on, they heard about Fan Chang’s prison break. Now Ling Buyi was in a big trouble.
Xiao Yuanyi was heartbroken because of her daughter's negative attitude towards marriage and love.
When Cheng Shaoshang went back home with her mother, they met Ling Buyi. In order to ensure her safety, he escorts them to their home.
Cheng Shaoshang sneaked out to meet Ling Buyi. Buyi bid his farewell, saying that this could be the last time they meet. He Zhaojun's father He Yong died in battle. He Yong’s last wish was to resume the engagement of his daughter Zhaojun and Lou Yao.
The Cheng’s and the Lou’s are now in a dilemma. They could not decide whether to continue or to cancel their wedding. Shaoshang was furious that the Lou’s would consider Lou Yao marrying He Zhaojun. However, Yuan Shen explained to her that this was the only way to protect He's inheritance, and advised Shaoshang to understand the current situation.
