Liu Jintang is a daughter born to a concubine, unloved by her father and her legitimate mother. She only wants to live a quiet, uneventful life, but keeps getting caught up in political power struggles. When she learns that her birth mother's death was no accident and that people have been treating her like a pawn, she stops being a meek little rabbit who simply takes whatever comes her way.
He is the Ninth Thousand Year, a man wielding power over the entire court and feared by all. Once he had been a brilliant scholar, but at the age of twenty, his half-brother framed him. The brutal death of his full brother changed him completely. From then on, the world would never again see the gentle, jade-like top scholar.
The two had nothing to do with each other, but an accident binds them together for good. From then on, the world gains a little fool brave enough to marry the Ninth Thousand Year, and a madman who welcomes a concubine's daughter with a smile.
