A modern garden designer dresses up as an orphan who escaped from famine and established herself in the Pei Mansion with her flower-growing skills. However, she is plotted by an evil slave and almost loses her innocence.
She is sober and independent, and just wants to save money to redeem herself and go to Liangzhou, but she runs into the eyes of the cold and powerful minister Pei Chengyan twice. He is the iron-blooded imperial envoy of the princess who refuses to marry, and he uses ruthless methods, but he becomes possessive of this prickly "narcissus" and secretly blocks her way.
There are many schemes in the deep house, and the water transport case is undercurrent. She must not only avoid the evil slaves who force her to marry, but also break away from the control of powerful officials. And Pei Chengyan, while investigating the case and punishing the rape, pressed forward step by step, vowing to take this cold little flower into his palm.
When a sober orphan meets a domineering minister, is it a game of control and counter-control, or is it the deep love of mutual redemption in troubled times?
