[Alternate History]
Huo Zhao, the regent princess of the Daye Dynasty, had overwhelming power and was decisive in killing. She needed a harmless husband to quell the criticism in the court, so she chose Shen Guiyan, a docile proton from the south of the Yangtze River. This person looks thin and weak, but in fact he is the "perfect weapon" that Yu Gu of the previous dynasty trained for twenty years. Like a prey, he accurately fell into Huo Zhao's trap.
Huo Zhao thought that he had made every step of the way, weaving a dragnet and trapping this Jiangnan sparrow in the palm of his hand. Shen Guiyan thought that he was using his tricks to lure her into falling in love, secretly laying out the great cause of restoring the country.
It wasn't until the critical moment of life and death that the two of them realized that those self-righteous controls were just the other's willing connivance. In the end, the two teamed up to fight against the enemy and protect the peace of their family and country.
All the past and old grudges are attributed to the slow-cooking life in the Jiangnan fireworks, the steady flow of water, the clumsy tenderness and the understanding that does not need to be said in daily life.
