Xu Manwen, a talented girl from a poor family, took the exam on her behalf to save her brother. She entered the imperial examination room under the name "Xu Wen" and met the proud man Liu Muche on a narrow road. She hid her daughter's body and stood out among men with a pen, but she didn't know that her beautiful handwriting and extraordinary intelligence had already made Liu Muze suspicious.
From sharing the same roof on a rainy night in the Jiangnan Provincial Examination to the sharpness of the Capital Examination, he caught a glimpse of the scattered green hair on her temples and touched the delicate skin on her wrists, but he always protected her from open and covert arrows in the name of "protector". When his identity was almost exposed, he handed over the cheat sheet and whispered his true feelings: "What I asked for was never to be on the gold medal list alone, but to go to the bridal chamber with you."
When playing games in the court, he split the thorns of the world for her; when teaching in the countryside, she paved the way for him to win the hearts of the people. From being able to hide their lies from the sky, to being friends who look at the world side by side, they use their talents as their blades and their love as their armor. Amid the ups and downs of the imperial examinations and the prejudices of the times, they write a legend of "the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber when the names are named on the gold medal list".
