Synopsis

Gao Hongfei, daughter of the influential royal clansman Gao Shize, is beautiful, talented, and secretly skilled in martial arts. Free-spirited by nature, she cherishes her independence. To keep her unruly third son, Zhao Kai, in check, Empress Dowager Zheng decrees that he marry Gao Hongfei. To escape the confines of the imperial palace, Gao Hongfei and her father hatch an elaborate scheme: she pretends to be foolish and unruly to refuse the match. Having heard the rumors, Zhao Kai travels incognito to the Gao residence to investigate. He unexpectedly sees through the ruse and is captivated by Gao Hongfei's intelligence and integrity. At this time, grain prices in Yuezhou soar and refugees gather. Zhao Kai takes up the post of assistant prefect in Yuezhou, and together with Gao Hongfei, he reforms the corrupt administration and investigates grain merchants' profiteering and an arson plot. Using a token from Zhong Shidao, they resolve the grain shortage, and their feelings grow as they work side by side to protect the people. A struggle for the throne erupts in the capital. The ambitious second prince, Zhao Ji, resorts to a sinister scheme to frame the Gao family for colluding with the enemy after failing to win them over. Zhao Kai and Gao Hongfei work in perfect tandem to expose the forged evidence and avert disaster. But turmoil in the court spreads to Yuezhou, and the emperor summons Zhao Kai back to the capital to answer charges. Forced to face an even more dangerous court struggle, the pair find their love and Yuezhou's peace subjected to an unknown trial amid the fight for imperial power. Centered on freedom and constraint, political intrigue and sincerity, the novel tells of two people finding and staying by each other's side in troubled times.
