Shen Yan, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, transmigrated into the Chu Dynasty and became Shen Yan, the concubine of the Dingbei Hou Mansion (the original owner had the same name). She was jealous of her eldest sister's engagement with the prince of Dingbei, so she framed her and ended up being exiled and died tragically. After Shen Yan awakened his memory, he deliberately avoided the original plot to save himself, but accidentally got caught in the sight of the eldest son Xiao Chengyu. Faced with the instigation and frame-up of Cai Ling, the green tea-type villain in the original book, the dowry maid next to his eldest sister, Shen Yan responded with coldness and rationality. In the process of investigating the original injustice case and resolving the family crisis, he and Xiao Chengyu went from testing each other to running in both directions, and finally reversed their fate, reaping a sweet ending, and at the same time uncovering a hidden historical fact related to the founding of the Chu Kingdom.
