To clear her family's name, Yun Wan, daughter of a military family, assumes the identity of Lian Yu, disguises herself as a man, and enters government service through the imperial examinations.
But right from the start, she runs into her destined nemesis: Zhong Bai, the chief councilor's son.
Zhong Bai had a beloved fiancée who died young. Yet after spending day after day with Lian Yu, he falls for her and constantly wants to cling to her side.
Lian Yu: Don't disrupt my spiritual cultivation!
Zhong Bai: How can I fall for a man? Forget it, I must be sick. Sob!
Lian Yu eventually clears her family's name, and Zhong Bai takes her to pay respects at his fiancée's memorial tablet. There, he discovers that the person on the tablet and the one beside him are the same person.
Zhong Bai: A widower jolts awake in the middle of the night, only to discover the misunderstanding was his own doing!
After that, Zhong Bai no longer dares to cling openly to Lian Yu.
Lian Yu: Hey, if you want something, you have to make it happen yourself! Watch me trip you up and steal a kiss up close!
Zhong Bai: Thrilling! Again!
After that, Zhong Bai unlocked his full potential. Clinging and kissing were no longer enough for him!
