- Story Synopsis -
During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin people repeatedly invaded the Central Plains, and the Mongols sought to dominate. The Southern Song was besieged on two fronts, its situation precarious, and the people were in turmoil. Merchant Jiang Xing (played by Du Yongxin) and his wife Xiuniang (played by Wang Jieqing), newly married, were about to leave for the north to do business. They bid each other a painful farewell, reluctant to part. To show his loyalty and commitment to his beloved wife, Jiang Xing gave Xiuniang his family heirloom, a pearl-embroidered shirt, before leaving to ease his longing. Unexpectedly, two years passed without a trace of Jiang Xing, and later, rumors spread that he had died in the war. Xiuniang, upon hearing the news of her husband's death, wept bitterly. One day, Qiu Feng (played by Huang Chengbin), fleeing the war, collapsed from his wounds in front of Xiu Niang's house. Xiu Niang and her servant Yan'er (played by Chen Jiting) rescued him. Xiu Niang and Qiu Feng spent their days together, and feelings developed between them. Yan'er also developed feelings for Qiu Feng… Their relationship gradually became the subject of gossip, so Qiu Feng decided to leave Xiu Niang and go to Caizhou to offer himself as a general's advisor. Despite their reluctance to part, they could only lament their shallow fate. Before Qiu Feng left, Xiu Niang secretly gave him a pearl-embroidered shirt. On the battlefield, Qiu Feng encountered Jiang Xing, who had been captured by the Jin army. Qiu Feng helped Jiang Xing escape their control, and Jiang Xing took a knife for Qiu Feng. The two became sworn brothers. After the war ended, on their way back to their hometown, Jiang Xing was shocked to find Qiu Feng wearing the pearl-embroidered shirt…
