When Shen Susu was two years old, her parents died in battle and she was adopted by the empress. The empress treated her as her own and loved her very much. Because the empress doted on her too much, Shen Susu was lawless and acted arbitrarily since she was a child. As a result, at the age of sixteen, she didn't even have anyone to ask for her hand in marriage. The empress decided to personally choose a good son-in-law for her, but who knew that the news had just spread, and the young talents in Cangyu City were panicking as if a disaster was about to happen, for fear of being selected by the empress to marry them. According to roadside news, the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion would rather cut off his leg than become her husband; the eldest son of the General's Mansion would rather become a monk than run away from marriage; the young prince of Beiji Mansion even said that he would rather marry a man than marry her...
The empress was furious, so she held a "Sacred Crane Cup" audition competition for Shen Susu in Cangyu. The ten selected men can live in Shenhe Mansion and continue to live and study until Shen Susu selects a suitable man to be her consort, and the other unsuccessful men can regain their freedom.
