No one in the capital knew that Princess Su Tan of Zhaoyang was domineering. On top of the Golden Palace, they saw Rong Jing, the new champion scholar, showing off his talents and actually snatched her as his consort in public, vowing to humiliate this "corrupt scholar". Unexpectedly, after the wedding night, all the difficulties she set up were solved by him in an understatement. When discussing politics, he crushed her shallowness with his eloquent talk. When running the family, he used his wisdom to rectify her troublesome slaves. Even her most proud horse riding and shooting were all competed by him calmly.
Although Su Tan was depressed, he caught a glimpse of his character when he was confronting his relatives, and felt compassion for him when he was at his desk late at night. When the uncle's gang members secretly plotted murder and stabbed her with the cold sword, Rong Jing defended her with his body, his blood-stained official robes still smiled: "My life has long been your highness's."
From then on, the domineering princess put away her sharp claws and went around the court for him; the cold champion took off his guard and walked through the dangerous shoals with her. From the absurdity of the forced marriage in the Golden Palace, to the political confrontation under the moon, to the life and death dependence of the same sword-wielding shadow - this marriage that began with humiliation eventually became each other's armor and weakness. When the fog of power and intrigue cleared, they understood: The so-called happy enemies are just "it must be you" written by fate long before the Golden Palace.
