Lin Wei, a modern social animal, once traveled through time and became Shen Qingci, the legitimate daughter of the general of the Great Jing Dynasty. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was thrust into a political marriage - to the rumored cold and bloodthirsty Prince Jing, Xiao Jue.
On their wedding night, he stayed in the study alone, while she stayed alone in the empty room. The two reached a consensus: each would take what he wanted and not interfere with the other. However, the palace is not a pure land. The concubine's difficulties and the nun's harsh accusations came one after another. Shen Qingci was too lazy to swallow his anger and used modern wisdom to show off his tricks. On the contrary, Xiao Jue, who was watching with cold eyes, was impressed.
There was an emergency at the border and Xiao Jue went on an expedition. She stayed behind at the palace and accidentally discovered that he was in a difficult situation at court. She even uncovered the conspiracy of his concubine to collude with political enemies. She no longer stayed out of the matter, and sent letters from thousands of miles away to deliver key evidence to help him break the situation; when he returned triumphantly with scars all over his body, she disregarded the rules and applied medicine herself, using the magic method of "disinfection with strong alcohol" to save his life.
From testing each other to fighting the enemy side by side, from "each getting what he needs" to a tacit understanding, this marriage that started as a conspiracy has gradually developed a different kind of emotion. When the cold-faced prince began to hide his sharp edge and shielded her from open and secret arrows; when the time-traveling princess lowered her guard and was willing to share the wind and rain with him, they finally understood: It turned out that the best destination was this encounter that started out of helplessness.
House fights and intrigues intertwine. Let's see how the general's daughter and the cold-faced prince go from being a "contracted couple" to holding hands and growing old together.
