"Beautiful, strong, sickly beauty × sinister and powerful minister from a poor family"
She was Shen Liuli, the daughter of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. She had a heart with seven orifices and a body like glass. The imperial doctor declared that she would not survive more than three years.
He is Pei Yanqing, the minister of household affairs who rose from a humble family. He holds the account book as if holding a sword, and the smoke of war is hidden under his deep eyes.
During a peony banquet, she was treated as a pawn by the prince;
Once at Wangjiang Tower, he held an umbrella to rescue her.
"Master Pei, why are you helping me?"
"I can't stand people taking advantage of their power to bully others, and I can't stand how bright pearls are covered in dust."
From the accounting office in Hangzhou to the northwest grain road, she used her sick body to investigate the shady story of military grain for him for twenty years;
From the Jiangnan embroidery workshop to the front of the Jinluan Palace, he supported her with a peaceful life from a humble family.
"She is not his weakness, she is his side by side.
He is not her supporter, but her light on the road.
Although glass is brittle, it can be shattered to reveal plots and schemes;
Although the banquet is cold, I hope it will warm her year after year.
"Yanqing, if I don't survive three years..."
"Then I will make these three years better than other people's lifetime. ""

From the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River to the wind and snow in the northwest, from the abacus account book to the chess game in the world.
This journey is not redemption, but symbiosis - two sober hearts recognizing each other in troubled times.
