Zixuan Yue has always been a dreamer. When her family moves to a new neighborhood in Yihe, she's captivated by the majestic mansion across the street-a castle-like estate that seems to belong to another world. Jokingly, she tells her mother, "I'll marry the son of this house one day." Little does she know, her innoc words will set the stage for a love story that will shape her life.
At Nuwan High School, Zixuan meets Hua Jing, the enigmatic heir to the Jing family fortune. Handsome, talented, and effortlessly charismatic, Hua Jing is everything Zixuan isn't-confident, popular, and seemingly o of reach. Despite her shy and introverted nature, Zixuan finds herself drawn to him, her heart aching with a love she can't express.
Years later, Zixuan and Hua Jing cross paths again in Shanghai, where Zixuan is completing her medical internship. The spark between them reignites, but the scars of the past remain. Zixuan must confront her feelings and decide whether to fight for the love she's always longed for or let go of a dream that was never hers to begin with.
"Hua Jing you may think it's a crush but l've like you for a long time and never had courage to tell you"
"i wish I was the one that you always want i wish I were the one that's always on your mind like you're in mine"
"i never knew that I could feel so heart broken over something that never was mine "zixuan said while shivering and crying,
Set in Tang Dynasty, on a small farm in China, Peizhi Jiang, lives a quiet life with her family far from the outside world. Her mixed race background prevents her from stepping foot off the farm, having to occupy herself with mundane tasks. Despite making peace with this promise, fulfilled with her family's love, she longs to see the world and meet new faces that aren't the same ones she wakes up to.
It isn't until a childhood friend of Peizhi's mother, Lady Xiaomeng, pays a visit to seek a good wife for her mysterious son, Zian Xiaomeng, to pay back a debt. In return, the wife shall live nobly and of certain status. To much discretion, that daughter becomes Peizhi.

He's always gone. He always meets with suspicious people and discusses acts of war. There's always red spots on his clothes when he returns. There's always a rumor surrounding his name. He'd even once offered Peizhi a chance annul their marriage and never look back.
And hidden under their bed, is a red tassel attached to a gold bar inscribed with characters and a red dragon that always brings out a mixed reaction once revealed.
His secrets are too heavy to bear on one's shoulders, a permanent outcome is only inevitable.
