In order to protect Liang'er, her cousin Nalan Rongruo (Vin Zhang) changed her name to Wei Linlang, and took her into his care.

However, Rongruo's father, Nalan Mingju, fearing that Linlang's identity would cause trouble for the family, secretly sent her to the palace to become a maid in order to prevent the two from being together.

Linlang thought she would end up dying a lonely death in the palace, but the appearance of Kangxi disrupted her life.

Kangxi recognized Linlang as the young girl who saved his life as a child, and resorted to various methods to help her remember the past.

He decides to let the two lovers be reunited, but a twist of fate causes deeper misunderstandings and missed chances.
