Gu Zhao, the General of Jingguo, and Shen Zhixia, a female doctor, were childhood sweethearts. When Gu Zhao left for the battlefield to defend the country, he promised the bedridden Zhixia, "I’ll marry you when I return victorious." But three years later, he came back to the capital with Jiang Li, the princess of the enemy state, and publicly announced he would marry Jiang Li as his official wife. Zhixia was heartbroken, but during a pulse diagnosis for Gu Zhao, she discovered he had been poisoned with a chronic toxin—incurable, and he had at most half a year left to live. It turned out Gu Zhao had known his fate long ago; he deliberately married Jiang Li to push Zhixia away, fearing he would drag her down. Zhixia decided to hide the truth and secretly use her medical skills to extend his life, but Gu Zhao thought she had moved on. Until the day the toxin took effect, he fell into Zhixia’s arms and trembled, saying, "I was afraid you’d suffer with me till old age… even more afraid you’d watch me die." They loved each other deeply, but their desire to "protect each other" became the most painful missed opportunity.
