Synopsis:
In a chaotic world, Wei Shao shoulders the heavy responsibility of his family after enduring the painful loss of his father and brother. However, just as he leads his clan to avenge the long-standing humiliation of a past city massacre, he realizes that what the common people truly need is not vengeance and warfare, but peace. For the sake of the people's livelihood, he sends a marriage alliance proposal to the Qiao family—the very family that had once betrayed the Weis—and the Qiao family's youngest daughter, Qiao Man, is forced into the marriage.
Rumor has it that Wei Shao is a bloodthirsty demon who loves warfare. Knowing full well that his marriage to her is merely a stalling tactic, Qiao Man lives in the Wei household with utmost caution, as if walking on thin ice. After weathering numerous crises, Qiao Man and Wei Shao are gradually drawn to each other's intelligence, tactical brilliance, and broad-mindedness. Yet, the deep-seated grievances of the previous generation still loom between them, estranging the couple. When the Wei family faces a critical life-or-death crisis, Qiao Man vows to defend the city to the death, ultimately winning over the hearts of both the Wei clan and Wei Shao. In the end, the two fall genuinely in love, resolve their families' deep animosity through their mutual understanding, and join hands to restore peace and tranquility to the people.
