SYNOPSIS

Set in the Tang Dynasty, it tells the legendary and inspirational story of a woman who cultivated peonies and eventually helped the people of the world. He Wei Fang, the daughter of a merchant with the help of Jiang Chang Yang,, an official in Chang'an, divorced from a marriage where only benefits were exchanged. The two met again by chance in Jingcheng.

He Wei Fang relied on her superb skills in cultivating rare peonies and her extraordinary business acumen to form a combination of craftsmen and investors with Jiang Chang Yang. She started her business cultivating peonies and led a group of women who had a rough life to jointly run a flower shop and build a brand. He Wei Fang gradually discovered that he was actually a general for the country, who was pure on the outside, clever on the inside, and caring about the world.

Seeing firsthand the hardships of the poor and hard-working people, He Wei Fang was determined to transform the industry into one that benefits the people. On Jiang Chang Yang's road to serving the country, He Wei Fang repeatedly helped him, and the two sides gradually developed a secret love. After a near-death experience, the two worked together to put down a rebellion, and both retreated into the world of heaven and earth.
