During the Dajing Dynasty, Shen Qingci, the prime minister's legitimate daughter, was forced to accept a ridiculous imperial edict - to marry Xiao Yu, a son-in-law from a poor family.
She was the jewel of a noble family, with an arrogant temperament and a shaky look in her eyes. She despised her apprentice-like husband at the first sight and regarded him as a great shame and humiliation.
He is a lowly married son-in-law, his words and deeds are bright and cheerful, and he always likes to tease "ladies" with a playful smile. He seems to be uneducated and incompetent, but he always "accidentally" resolves crises in times of crisis.
The Shen family's house fights are surging, and the concubine's green tea schemes are emerging one after another; the palace is in a treacherous whirlpool, with the entanglement of the yandere prince and the revenge of the darkened princess approaching every step of the way.
When the arrogant daughter-in-law bumps into her adopted son-in-law, they go from tit-for-tat to testing dependence, from hiding from each other to breaking through the situation together——
She was shocked to realize that beneath that cynical skin, there was a sharp edge that could turn things around;
He also understood that the hard shell of pride was wrapped in an unknown softness.
The shadows on the palace wall are getting thicker, and the chess game of power is unfolding. How can this pair of seemingly misplaced people find a path that belongs to them and share the same heart amidst the turmoil?
