Su Wan, a gold medal agent, died and suddenly became Shen Jingshu, the mistress of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Her husband guarded the border, her servants bullied her master, and her stepchildren treated her like nothing. What makes her even more struck by lightning is that the cold, distant and reclusive prince Shen Zheng actually bears the traces of the artist Gu Zheng who died suddenly in her previous life in his demeanor!
The deep house is like the sea, full of dangers. Giant beetles suddenly appeared in the military accounts, and secret assassinations were frequently fired in the court. Su Wan had to use modern means to clean up the Hou Mansion and deal with the powerful. On the one hand, there is the warmth that the timid stepdaughter Shen Yue longs for; on the other hand, there is the tacit identity suspicion and cold game with her "son" Shen Zheng (Gu Zheng). The manager and artist in the past life, and the "mother and son" in this life, under strict ethics, are performing an absurd and fatal double play.
When the storm of seizing the direct descendants suddenly arises, the conspiracy of collaborating with the enemy and treason draws the Hou Mansion into the whirlpool, and the hidden secrets are on the verge of being exposed. Su Wan and Shen Zheng were forced to join hands, and modern wisdom collided with ancient tactics. Is it mother and son? An old enemy? Or a conspirator bound by fate? In this misplaced golden noble family, can they break the disguise, protect each other, and reverse the chess game of life and death?
