Shen Zhaoning, a top law student in the modern world, transmigrates as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei. From the start, she's in a desperate situation: her stepmother poisons her, her father is indifferent, and the emperor decrees that she marry a notorious playboy prince in the capital.
Her System activates and issues a quest: within fifteen days, get a suitable man to propose to her of his own accord.
She turns her attention to the most dangerous target: Xiao Chi, the General of Zhenbei. He commands an army of two hundred thousand and is cold and taciturn. He's a thorn in the emperor's side and someone every court official avoids.
To protect herself, she plans carefully at every step: a chance meeting outside the city, a trap at a banquet, then a strategic retreat to live a quiet life raising sheep at a country estate.
He sees through her schemes, yet when she stays up all night to protect a tenant farmer's son, he sends her a handwritten copy of One Hundred Questions About Raising Sheep. In the margin is a line in tiny handwriting: Don't shoulder everything alone.
This is a story about two lonely people. They meet through schemes, lean on each other in times of danger, and eventually discover that the rarest thing in the world is simply someone willing to shoulder the burden with you.
