After her entire family was executed and she was exiled, her mother, Madam He, was summoned to the palace and abused to death. Ming Kui, once the wealthy eldest daughter of Yong, had unexpectedly lost her memories and fallen so low that she was beaten and berated as a servant in the General's residence. Zhao family's legitimate daughter was in love with His Highness Prince Chen, Yong Muqing, who had pretended to be mad and foolish for ten years to protect himself in the palace. The concubine-born son Zhao Shuze gave up love for the sake of his future. Heartbroken after regaining her memories, Ming Kui rose from a lowly servant to become an obscure illegitimate daughter of the Zhao family, then was given in marriage to a fool as a bride in return for imperial favor. The fool had kept himself pure for the childhood savior who once saved his life.
“Zhao Susu, don't think that just because you've discovered my secret, you can force me to love you!” Ming Kui looked at him as if he were an idiot. “I don't love you either.”
After enduring hardships and twists of fate, hatred turned into deep love. Each finally realized that the person before them was the one they had always loved. The former fool transformed into an emperor, but bound the person at his side tightly and asked, eyes narrowed, “Is the empress going to run off with the baby?”
