Xiao Yan, a young man from the Department of Modern History, traveled to the north to become Xiao Jin, the eldest son of Prince Jing's palace. It was the anniversary of the Chinese New Year and the feudal princes were divided. He inherited a mess of depleted accounts, border turmoil, people in distress, and corruption in the military. Xiao Jin was calm and decisive, checking accounts, controlling floods, and improving military discipline. Gu Qingtang, a daughter of Jiangnan, came to marry him. He was smart and calm, and offered suggestions to help him solve the problem. The two work together to deal with the undercurrents of the court, family disputes and border wars, from getting to know each other to protecting their home and country together. No golden fingers, relying on resourcefulness and responsibility to carve out a new path to prosperity in troubled times.
