Chi Yi, a sunny, modern-day rich kid, unexpectedly transmigrates to the fictional Zhaoyun Dynasty, where she becomes "Chi Yi," the noble heir of Duke An, who must disguise herself as a man. To strengthen ties between the imperial court and the great clans, an imperial decree "bestows" her in marriage to Princess Qiao Yan, the emperor's cleverest, coldest, and most haughty younger sister.
One is a fake heir who is carefree, full of modern ideas, and just wants to keep a low profile, stay alive, and perhaps build a career. The other was raised in the palace, is astute and calculating, and is wary of this political marriage.
At first, the newlyweds treat each other like ice. They lay down three rules and agree not to interfere in each other's affairs. But Chi Yi's sunny nature and unpredictable ways keep stirring Qiao Yan's tranquil heart. Meanwhile, Qiao Yan's intelligence and the vulnerability she occasionally lets show gradually awaken Chi Yi's compassion.
At court, Chi Yi quietly breaks deadlocks with modern knowledge and management skills, drawing the attention of every faction. Qiao Yan watches coldly, moving from confusion to admiration, until she can't help secretly lending a hand.
As they face one crisis after another together, they learn to rely on each other, and affection quietly takes root. Their hearts stir when their eyes meet and feelings spread with every brush of fingertips, yet the gulf between their identities and the weight of their secrets keep them from speaking openly.
She fears that if her true gender is exposed, the crime of deceiving the emperor will bring disaster upon her whole family. She fears that her feelings are an illusion and that giving her heart to the wrong person will lead to ruin.
But events gradually spiral out of control. When the secret can no longer be kept and their feelings can no longer be suppressed, what will they choose? Follow a modern woman who transmigrates into another world as she wins over a cold princess, ultimately finding success in both love and career and writing a legendary love story together.
Why does it start with the same routine every time?
Looks good, come on!
