A modern office worker transmigrates into Tang Lezhi of the Tang family in Jiangnan. To bring her grandfather good luck, she is dressed as a boy from birth, and keeps up the act for more than a decade. Her only dream is to lie flat and retire.
To avoid the matchmakers besieging her, she declares, “I like men.”
The theatrical prince Zhao Yanzhi, trying to dodge the Empress Dowager's pressure to marry, stages an encounter with Tang Lezhi. The two hit it off and sign a partnership contract.
At first, they think it's a win-win deal, but the prince gets too deeply into character and turns the pretense into reality. He secretly courts Tang Lezhi, hoping to win her over little by little and get her used to the idea of being with a man.
When Tang Lezhi is exposed for disguising herself as a man and thrown into prison, the prince has no time to celebrate. He is frantic as he rushes about trying to save her.
After he officially starts courting the heroine, he confesses everything to the Empress Dowager, only to learn that she knew they were pretending all along and simply never said anything. The male lead is stunned: “Was I just making a fool of myself?”
Love does not distinguish between men and women, and has nothing to do with status. It is not love at first sight, but being attracted to each other in every interaction, slowly being moved, and gradually being moved and unable to restrain oneself. As long as the economic foundation allows, we unconsciously pursue the spiritual level. However, trying to find the one in the vast sea of people is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. Once you encounter it, don't hesitate or scruple, just rush forward boldly. After passing this village, there will be no such store. You will regret it when you are old. Even if you take regret medicine, you won't have the energy to rush forward.
