Cheng Zhaozhao, daughter of the Minister of Revenue, was betrothed to the Crown Prince since childhood, believing it was a good match to climb the social ladder. However, she catches the Crown Prince in an affair with the Prime Minister's daughter—she is merely a pawn for the Crown Prince to consolidate his power. Heartbroken, she meets Xiao Lie, the exiled God of War who has been reduced to a commoner, on the outskirts of the city. Though down-and-out, he still guards the grain supplies for the border people and even takes an assassin's knife for her. As they get along, Cheng Zhaozhao discovers that Xiao Lie not only has unparalleled bravery but also a pure heart to protect the world; meanwhile, Xiao Lie has long been attracted to her intelligence and kindness. When the Crown Prince forces her to fulfill the marriage, Cheng Zhaozhao tears up the betrothal letter without hesitation: "This 'high branch'—I choose someone who can guard the country with me!" Together, they expose the Crown Prince's rebellion, Xiao Lie regains military power, and Cheng Zhaozhao transforms from an "abandoned东宫 bride" to the "God of War's Wife." Sweet daily life hides political twists, and true love grows hotter in the defense of the country.
