Synopsis
In the bustling capital of Chang'an, the Fangyuan Garden thrived with endless streams of visitors, its gates never free of crowds. Despite constant obstruction from County Princess Li Youzhen, it stood unshaken.
When envoys from across the land gathered in the empire, He Weifang, the garden's mistress, was entrusted with a critical task—amidst snow and wind, she unveiled a breathtaking bloom of peonies, showcasing the nation's magnificence and earning widespread acclaim. Just as her dream of commercial success seemed within reach, she uncovered the truth behind her mother's death, casting doubt on her path as a merchant.
A chance brush with danger brought her sudden clarity. Realizing the true duty of a merchant, she shifted her focus to practical industries that benefited the people—teaching trades, establishing the affordable medical clinic "Wuyong Hall," and bringing relief to countless lives. At the same time, she secretly aided Jiang Changyang, the "Flower-and-Bird Envoy," and the Emperor in their struggle against the rebellious Prince Ning, striving to restore the nation's dignity.
Though she and Jiang Changyang finally confessed their feelings, duty demanded his sacrifice. Determined to fulfill their shared vision for the empire, Weifang continued her mercantile philanthropy while covertly mustering forces to aid the Emperor's resurgence. At the brink of life and death, Jiang Changyang returned, bathed in blood, leading the Hedong Army—supported by Weifang—to a decisive victory over Prince Ning.
With peace restored and the land prosperous, the fragrance of peonies drifted for miles, and spring returned to the earth.
