A promise is worth its weight in gold. I’ll marry my dear Liu.
Once you enter a grand household, it’s like sinking into the sea. From then on, you wash your hands of everything and spend your days cooking!
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
A woman with a man’s ambition, Jiao Liao, raised in a humble household, won’t let silk and satin cloud her judgment.
As the daughter-in-law personally chosen by Madam Da of the Xin family, she is going to help her pretend mother-in-law seize the position of family head.
The Liu family leads the flower trade in the capital. Within the family, two sides contend beneath a veneer of calm; from outside, rivals lie in wait.
Managing a household is like tending flowers: water them with care and nourish the soil, and the whole garden will bloom with fragrance.
Along the way, Jiao Liao encounters betrayal, abandonment, ridicule, and cold stares. But there is more: help, joy, support, loyalty through thick and thin. A group of women, selfish and coy, brave and bold, compose a song in praise of every blossom.
Love that complements you brings fulfillment; love that goes both ways means understanding.
The man Jiao Liao loves must have great ambitions.
He is Shi Kuishan, a man from a fallen family whose younger sister has gone missing. Fortunately, he meets good people.
Though he is only a Daoist, he harbors sky-high ambitions. Guided by fate, he transforms step by step, strengthening the nation through military might and winning glory at Langjuxu to protect her bridal finery. Along the way, he outmaneuvers rivals, endures peril, sheds his blood, restores the rightful royal line, and uncovers the truth of his birth. He becomes a pillar of the nation.
How wonderful: flowers adorn the Great Qian’s golden age, the military upholds the empire’s prestige, and peace and happiness reign across the land!
