To Yan Yu's surprise, the play written by Anna turned out to be quite interesting.
The female lead is a foreign princess stranded in a hostile land, hiding in a room only to be discovered by the male lead, an officer from the invading army. Moved by compassion, he decides to take her back to her country.
The two face numerous hardships on their journey, akin to overcoming eighty-one trials, yet there is also much sweet romance along the way. In the end, the princess returns to her homeland, but the male lead rejects her offer to stay and returns to his loyal troops.
Years later, the invading army is finally defeated, leaving every officer captured or exiled.
The male lead is hunted by the Allied Forces with nowhere to hide, until he sees the female lead leading her army to the border, extending a hand of support:
"Now it's my turn to redeem you."
