Su Wanci, the most "disrespectful" agent in Dajing's Secret Pavilion, received the most outrageous task in his life - to lurk in the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion and steal secret letters related to the government. I originally thought it was a spy war drama with swords and swords, but I never thought that the entire Hou Mansion is full of "crouching dragons and phoenix chicks": the Master of the Hou Mansion who is obsessed with raising crickets and regards espionage as a cricket's record, the Madam Hou who is keen on marrying all the maids in the courtyard and will not even let go of hidden dangers, and the Prince of the Hou Mansion who appears to be a playboy, but in fact always causes trouble when she performs her tasks.
Missions often go astray: I wanted to sneak into the study late at night, but I broke into the storybook hidden by the prince; I tried to bribe a secret informant, but I was snacked on the special product of the Anlihou Mansion; I followed the clues of the enemy agents, but I was involved in the bargaining of street vendors. While Su Wanci used his complaining skills to buff himself, he also used market wisdom to resolve political crises - using storyteller's tricks to obtain information, using the eloquence of a matchmaker to deceive enemy agents, and even relying on his cooking skills to win over everyone in the Hou Mansion.
The espionage story goes hand in hand with farce, and the murderous intent is hidden in the jokes. When a more secret conspiracy emerges behind the absurd daily life, and when the troubled prince reveals his unknown side, Su Wanci discovers that this latent mission has long since changed from "stealing secret letters" to "protecting the country among strange things." Can she complete her mission in a hurry? What kind of ridiculous ending will be achieved at the intersection of shadow and sunshine?
