Three-and-a-half-year-old Nuan Bao has lost her mother. Her stepmother calls her a jinx and a curse, while her father, who favors sons over daughters, beats her too, blaming her for not taking good care of her little brother. Nuan Bao thinks she's about to be beaten to death in this hopeless place, but then four uncles appear out of nowhere and spoil her rotten!
Her eldest uncle is the top scholar of the imperial court, her second uncle is the richest man in the country, and her third uncle became a renowned general after joining the army. As for her fourth uncle... He has a special constitution and is ridiculously handsome, making him the man every young woman in the country wants to marry!
Nuan Bao grows up happily under the care of her four uncles. When she turns eighteen, her childhood sweetheart comes to ask for her hand. Her uncles take turns laying down their demands: "Nuan Bao's husband must be the top scholar in the court, richer than Second Uncle, and able to beat Third Uncle in battle. And as for looks... He'd better be more handsome than Fourth Uncle!"
Rong Jin says that's no problem. As it happens, he has all those qualities!
