Insecurity is the best cosmetic treatment a man can get, but Shen Zhi wants Liu Yuncheng to stand tall and live with his head held high.
Because of his unusual identity, Liu Yuncheng is hunted every day. Shen Zhi comes up with plans to help him stay alive.
Everyone thinks a lowly servant like him is worthless, but Shen Zhi says he is destined to rise above everyone one day.
Liu Yuncheng lives up to her faith in him, carving out a place for himself in Tingzhou and gaining command of the army and tremendous influence. But overnight, the Shen family is destroyed, and Shen Zhi fakes her death and vanishes.
To repay her kindness, Liu Yuncheng plans to avenge the Shen family. He never expects that the masked strategist who has been at his side, helping him plan every move, is none other than the Shen Zhi he has longed for.
Reunited after facing life and death, the two join forces to root out the rot in the imperial court.
When the injustice is finally put right, Liu Yuncheng, now a great general, bends down before Shen Zhi. “My lady, you once promised to protect me for the rest of my life. Does that promise still stand?”
