The Shen family has been framed and wronged. The legitimate daughter, Shen Zhiwei, disguises herself as a man and takes the top honors in the imperial examinations under the name Shen Weizhi.
At court, she shines with undeniable brilliance, catching the eye of Xiao Jue, a scheming prince with power over the entire court, who takes her on as his personal adviser.
No one knows that the prince has already seen through the disguise and knows she is a woman. He keeps her by his side, teasing and testing her while protecting her at every turn.
In the treacherous court, he shields her from open attacks and hidden schemes. Late into the night, she helps him plan for the realm.
As mutual suspicion gives way to growing affection, their secret is exposed. The regent declares in a voice that rings with conviction:
“My top scholar is mine to marry.”
Once the top scholar, now the regent’s consort, watch as she claims both the realm and a love that runs deep.
