Graduate student Jiang Haixin from the Art Academy accompanies her grandmother Aisin Gioro De Yu to sketch at Tanzhe Temple in the western outskirts of Beijing. Under the tall Emperor tree, grandmother tells Jiang Haixin the legendary love story between her grandfather Aisin Gioro Puyuan and grandmother Yuna. In the winter of 1890, the young and beautiful Mongolian Gege Yuna was teased by a group of idle princes on her way to Tanzhe Temple. Puyuan, who had just returned from Europe after accompanying officials to purchase weapons and ships, could not stand by and indignantly drew his gun. Beneath the tall Emperor tree, after a chance encounter, Puyuan and Yuna fell in love at first sight, disregarding the attempts of their attendants to stop them and promising to be together for life, symbolized by a short gun and a dragon pendant. Their shocking actions caused a stir in the capital. The old prince wanted to bind Puyuan and send him to the Residence of the Imperial Clan, but Yuna pleaded desperately. Eventually, the grandmother, who had high hopes for Puyuan, discovered the dragon pendant and realized that Yuna was actually a descendant of her cousin, who was like a sister to her. Therefore, in the Wangye Mansion located in the deep alleys by the Beihai, she personally presided over a grand wedding ceremony for Puyuan and Yuna. In early 1894, both inside and outside the Forbidden City were busy preparing for Empress Dowager Cixi's sixtieth birthday, completely ignoring the looming threat of Japanese militarism. Puyuan, who called for action, was exiled to the naval office on Liu Gong Island. In the year of Jiawu, the situation changed drastically as the Japanese Combined Fleet launched a surprise attack on the Qing Navy, and the Qing Empire faced a crisis, marking a series of failures. Japanese troops landed on the Dalian beach, and the defending forces fled in all directions. The Japanese army broke through the "first fortress in the Far East," Lüshun, and brutally raised their swords, slaughtering tens of thousands of innocent civilians, with corpses lining the streets and lost souls wandering. At this critical moment, Cixi was still celebrating her birthday in the Forbidden City while the stage in the Forbidden City was filled with dancing sleeves, oblivious to the loss of foreign territories. Puyuan witnessed the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy, who fought alongside him, either dying or injured, filled with grief and anger. After Liu Gong Island fell, the Japanese army dismantled the ships of the Beiyang Navy, replacing the Qing dragon flag with their own. Ding Ruchang committed suicide, and the nursing officer of the "Zhenyuan" ship, Yang Yonglin, in a fit of grief and despair, fired the last shot of the Beiyang Navy at himself, taking his life. Liu Gong Island was engulfed in deep sorrow. The Beiyang Navy was obliterated in the Jiawu conflict. After the First Sino-Japanese War ended, the elderly Li Hongzhang helplessly sailed across the ocean to engage in arduous negotiations with Ito Hirobumi. Upon returning to the capital, Puyuan faced accusations from all sides against the Beiyang Navy. In his anger, he threw away the "Batulu" sash granted by the Qing dynasty and scolded the ministers in the Grand Council and the officials in the Ministry of Revenue, saying they only excelled at infighting while neglecting external battles, which was truly the root cause of the Jiawu disaster. After being marginalized, Puyuan drowned his sorrows in alcohol, while Yuna advised him to got out and avoid the storm. Upon returning to Weihaiwei, Puyuan came to the rescue of a boy named Xiaohai, who was being laughed at and attacked by other children. Upon learning that Xiaohai's father was the engine operator who heroically sacrificed himself on the warship, Puyuan could no longer hide his anger and sorrow. He told Xiaohai his story, gave him the dragon pendant he always carried, and told him that his father was a true hero and that he must grow up to be a man of great stature, guarding this deep blue sea in front of his home. Puyuan went missing and never returned to the capital. The young Yuna never remarried, raising her child alone in a chaotic world. After hearing her grandmother's story, Jiang Haixin decided to trace the path of the Jiawu War to seek Puyuan’s footprints, painting Puyuan's dreams for his country from 120 years ago and the lingering thoughts of the Jiawu War 120 years later. On her journey, Jiang Haixin encountered a young and handsome naval special operations team leader, unexpectedly discovered the legendary dragon pendant, found the descendants of Xiaohai, uncovered the secret of Puyuan’s disappearance, and also gained a pure love along the way...
