In the late Ayutthaya period of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, inquisitive Dao Rueng was raised by her Grandma Nim to be intelligent and independent. She found a kindred spirit in Khun Krai, a brave and honourable soldier, whose brother marries her sister. Muen Thip is a corrupt soldier and womanizer who becomes Khun Krai's rival and forces Dao Rueng to help him seduce Lady Yuern, Khun Krai's younger sister. When this is exposed, Dao Rueng confesses her part in the plot to Khun Krai. He forgives her and they become closer.
Khun Krai, his father, and Dao Rueng's brother are ordered to protect the kingdom from the Burmese Army, and in their absence, Muen Thip tried to marry Lady Yuern. Khun Krai is able to stop this, and Muen Thip collaborated with the enemy in an attempt to destroy Khun Krai. Both Khun Krai and his ally, Pan Singh are badly wounded in battle. Lady Yuern shelters and cares for Pan Singh and they become engaged. However, because Khun Krai remains missing Lady Yuern is pressured to agree to marry Muen Thip. Khun Krai reappears and volunteers to fight again despite his wounds, and relocates the government due to Burma's advances.
