During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Yan Song was in power and undercurrents were surging in the court. The nobles in the capital had a hard time choosing between the "strict party" and the "qing faction".
Shen Qingyan, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo, lost her mother at an early age. In order to cling to Yan Dang, the step-sibling Sun wanted to marry her to the son of a traitor, in order to control the Marquis's mansion and consolidate the power of her mother's family.
There are even more couples who work together to fight against power and rape.
