The seventh prince of the Great Jing Dynasty, Xiao Jinghan, was blessed with extraordinary talent and unmatched cunning. Unfortunately, he was born undersized. At just twenty years old, he stood only five chi and two cun tall (about 158 cm), earning him the mocking nickname "the Short Prince" at court and among the common people. He was once the strongest contender for the throne, but his own brothers conspired against him. In a single night, he fell from the heights of power, was stripped of his title, and exiled to a bitterly cold land. Assassins pursued him all along the way, and he barely escaped with his life.
During his flight, he crossed paths with Shen Jinghong, a spirited young woman from the common folk with peerless martial skill. Thus began the hilarious misadventures of a haughty short prince being "carried along" by a cunning female hero.
From fine clothes and lavish meals to a life of hardship and wandering, from being revered by all to becoming an easy target for anyone, Xiao Jinghan hides his true strength in adversity, endures humiliation, and lays his plans. While trading barbs and bickering with Shen Jinghong, he secretly gathers his old allies and advances step by step. In the end, he stages a comeback and returns to the pinnacle of power, only to realize that he can no longer live without the girl who always teases him for being short, yet risks her life to protect him.
