When the epidemic suddenly broke out, Ji Yanbo, a scholar from a poor family in Hedong, fell seriously ill and missed the provincial examination. When he was about to die, his mother arranged for him to marry a fourteen-year-old girl from Xieyan Village. No one knew that this girl named Yu Mingyue had the soul of a top student from the modern 985 Law School.
When they got married, she used modern thinking to manage their livelihood and revitalize the family business, and became his solid support on the way to the imperial examination; he counterattacked all the way with his talent as the number one scholar, but he was ranked third because of his handsome appearance. From the county magistrate to the chief minister, he strategized in the officialdom, but he has always been a "wife-loving maniac" towards her without reservation.
But this dream-seeking road is full of hidden dangers: the second aunt's family covets the family property and wants to kill them all; the county magistrate's daughter is obsessed with Ji Yanbo and makes things difficult for Yu Mingyue at every turn; the Zheng family in the capital wants to win him over with his legitimate daughter, and the son of a wealthy businessman and the young master of the county are deeply in love with Yu Mingyue, and some people even secretly disrupt the marriage for her...
When modern souls collide with ancient officialdom, and when a good business wife meets a powerful minister who protects her shortcomings, can this young couple work together to resolve the crisis, protect each other in the turbulent times, and finally go from a humble family to fame, and go back to their hometown together?
