During the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Great Qian dynasty, Yang Yining, the chief grand secretary, was framed. In a single night, his family was destroyed.
Eight years later, Luo Wuming of the Embroidered Uniform Guard receives a secret imperial order to find Yang’s descendants and the evidence that will clear his name.
On his journey to Jiangnan, he meets Hua Jiao, a lively and graceful young woman. They go from mistrusting and using one another to standing by each other, and eventually clear Yang Yining’s name. As the saying goes, whoever makes the first move is the fool, and whoever falls first loses. Luo Wuming embraces the attitude that shamelessness is invincible, turning defeat into victory and ultimately winning the lady’s heart.
