Shen Qingci, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongning, was smart, calm and thoughtful, but for the sake of her family's safety, she was forced to marry Xiao Jingyuan, the notorious "dandy prince".
On their wedding night, he was drunk and having sex, leaving her alone in the vacant room; in the palace, the concubine was provocative and the servants despised her, but she used thunderous means to establish rules and prestige, and took care of the back house like an iron bucket.
Everyone knows that King Jing Xiao Jingyuan lives a ridiculous life, but Shen Qingci accidentally discovers that his drunken appearance hides sobriety, and his cynical attitude hides his sharp edge - he secretly planned it, just to protect himself in the turbulent battle for the inheritance.
From the "cooperation agreement" that tested each other, to the tacit understanding that broke out side by side; from the backyard turmoil when the mother and concubine made things difficult and the love rival provoked, to the test of life and death when the court was entangled and old cases were obscured, they saw through each other's disguises and were sincerely moved in the repeated confrontations and protections.
When the "dandy prince" stopped his promiscuity and sacrificed his life to protect her; when the cool-headed daughter took off her guard and worried about him, this marriage, which started out of interests, eventually became the only destination for each other.
Let's see how the legitimate daughter of the aristocratic family "tamed" the dandy prince, and how the two found their own path of love in the chess game of power.
