Jiang Yan, a scholar from a poor family, uses his pen as his sword and his dreams as his horse, and vows to make his way up the social ladder with his talents; Su Ruanruan, the daughter of a small businessman, is cute and pretty, and has excellent cooking skills. She is willing to wash his hands and make soup for him, and supports him with her tenderness.
The sweet-scented osmanthus candy cake at the back door of the academy was what she kept feeding her every day; the lotus seed soup she read at night was her silent companion; the safety wristbands sewn before the exam and the jade pendant given to her as a personal gift were her concerns hidden in the details. When he was frustrated, she solved his worries with laughter; when he was confused, she helped him with her humble opinions; when he rushed to the examination room, she sent her lovesickness through letters.
From the first time they met in a different place in Huaixiang, from the road to the imperial examination to the title on the gold medal list, this is a sweet love that goes both ways. He lived up to his time, let alone his wife; she devoted all her tenderness to her husband and finally found her husband. When he was wearing official robes and holding the imperial edict in his hand, and solemnly handed it to her, he fulfilled his promise: "My wife will help me to step on the blue clouds, and I will give my glory to my wife. You are the only one in this life, and every year will be sweet."
