Xiyun is a noblewoman with a secret talent for polo who refuses to live a boring life. She forms a rivalry with a famous young general on the field, and their competitive sparks turn into a passionate romance as they team up to win the Golden Cup.

She disguised herself to enter the Emperor's grand polo tournament, only to crash into the opposing team's captain—a proud general who looked very annoyed.
