Shen Yiyi is the neglected legitimate daughter of a marquis's household. She seems to lead a carefree life, playing and laughing with the maids. But an imperial decree changes her fate completely: she is forced to marry into the prince's household and become the heir's wife.
On their wedding night, the heir leaves her alone in the bridal chamber, and word of her being unloved quickly spreads. From then on, everyone assumes that Shen Yiyi is bound to have a miserable life in the prince's household.
“Zhao Wenyun, if you dare sneak into my room again tonight, just see what happens.”
The heir's wife points a rolling pin at the man outside the door, who wears an utterly innocent smile.
A newly arrived maid witnesses this and wonders who started the rumor that the heir's wife is unloved. Judging by how hopelessly smitten the heir looks, he is clearly the one who gets no love.
