The Bai family are military nobles, while the Ye family have produced powerful chancellors. Bai Xiaoxiao only wants to open a shop selling fabric.
But a single military-supply order for the western frontier traps her in a deadly predicament.
Everyone says the Ye family took the supplies and intends to bring down the Bai family.
Only the emperor knows that he was the one who hid the supplies.
Bai Xiaoxiao thinks she's investigating the truth, but in reality, she's doing the emperor's bidding.
Ye Nanchun thinks he's the son of a disgraced official, but in reality, he's merely bait set out by the emperor.
Later, Bai Xiaoxiao becomes an imperial merchant and travels the land.
