Shen Qingci, the concubine of the Shen Mansion, had her biological mother die early and was forced to live in the place of her legitimate sister for her "dandy" husband.
On the wedding night, she made a contract with the rumored dandy prince Pei Yuan - each would get what he wanted and not interfere with the other. However, there are turbulent undercurrents under the calm surface: the second wife has repeatedly set up traps to covet the title, and the step-by-step pursuit of the aunt Wang seems to be related to the death of her biological mother. A hollow jade pendant reveals the shocking secret of the late queen's relics. Shen Qingci gradually discovered that his surrogate marriage was no accident. What his biological mother was entrusted to hide was actually the truth about a missing princess.
And her "dandy" husband is actually King Chen's nephew and the emperor's spy, who is also investigating the former queen's old case.
Fights in the house, court, and mysteries of life experience are intertwined, and the two people go from distrusting each other to being dependent on each other for life and death. When the late queen's edict reappeared, and when her missing sister Ah Heng surfaced, Shen Qingci understood that her life had been a game from the beginning. And she wanted to break the situation with her own hands, take the place of her mother Zhaoxue, clear her sister's name, and earn her own share of the glory of the imperial edict.
