When Gu Wansu was born, a black cat pounced on her belly. Qin Tianjian declared that she would be unlucky and lonely all her life. However, she won the favor of the young prince Zhao Jingyuan at the Zhou Zhou banquet. The emperor said that he could "capture more than just the country." Since then, she has had an ominous reputation, been ostracized by noble ladies, targeted by the Wei family, and even given a "slave training whip" by the queen as a warning. She seems to be stupid and lethargic, but she actually has wisdom hidden in her heart. She uses Jiulian Lian to show off her skills. Later, she realizes that the capital is about to suffer from a severe drought, and sets up a chess game to reverse the predicament of herself and her family. Amidst rumors and crises, Zhao Jingyuan always protects her firmly, and the bond between the two and her counterattack begins.
