Clever, lively, and adorable Jiang Xiaoyun ✘ scheming, cold-hearted, and ruthless Dongfang Jin
(Together, they have 1,600 tricks up their sleeves.)
Nineteen-year-old Jiang Xiaoyun transmigrates after a car accident and becomes a maidservant under Dongfang Jin, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. From then on, she leads a life of nervous toil.
Dongfang Jin will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. The naive Jiang Yun is drawn into his schemes from the very beginning and tormented until she wishes she were dead. She sees that Dongfang Jin is no good, but with no other choice, she stays by his side as a maid. After going through many things with him, she gains an increasingly clear picture of his ruthless ambition. At the same time, Jiang Yun realizes that she is falling for Dongfang Jin, step by step. But Dongfang Jin tells her to marry his enemy...
(The male lead has no room in his heart for love in the early and middle parts of the story, caring only about his career. When he realizes he has fallen for the heroine, he pushes her away, then regrets it and goes looking for her. There is a groveling arc, angst and sweetness, and a happy ending.)
