The King of Northern Qi invades Wei, and violates Concubine Wei. He then dies suddenly after Concubine Wei, gives birth to twins, a boy and a girl. When the jealous Queen intends to kill Concubine Wei and the twins, Caixia and Rong Jin take them to flee the palace. Guo Shifan is then ennobled for killing Concubine Wei.

Caixia adopts Princess Fenglian as her niece and earns their living by selling medicine in the streets while Rong Jin adopts Prince Yulong as his son. As a grown-up, Fenglian loves both Zhao Jinlong the outlander and Yulong. At first, she chooses to marry Zhao Jinlong. However, learning that Yulong becomes The Queen of Northern Qi’s foster son, Fenglian finally decides to be Yulong’s wife, in order to avenge her mother.

Taunted and angered by Yulong, Jinlong, who actually is the Crown Prince of Zhao, goes home and leads his troops to attack Qi. Before the wedding night, Yulong is defeated and wounded at the battlefield.

Jinlong intrudes into the palace and sees Caixia who clears the misunderstandings between the lovers. And when Jinlong tries to kill Yulong, Jin stops him by exposing the identity of the twins. After the reunited brother and sister kill the Queen and Shifan, they regain control of the country.
